Had one mixup with amenities but the property manager came through with flying colours. Above & beyond for customer care. ##### Kennedy K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Josh D. 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Retreat The property is excellent and the location is outstanding. The resort itself is new and expanding and the facilities are excellent. The cottage looks out onto the ocean with a great view of the marina, ocean, and nearby islands. The unit is also new and the property managers keep it very clean and well stocked. The only thing to be aware of it is that it is a small cabin, essentially the size of a mobile home. The second bedroom is quite small but would be fine for a single person or kids. Aside from that everything else was great and we would highly recommend it. ##### Josh D. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa H. 9 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Excellent stay, in every way. Host was easy to contact and very responsive. ##### Alyssa H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ---
