It was very clean and close to the beach. There really isn’t a trail to the beach you have to step over lots of logs and rocks so if you have mobility issues its a little tricky. There was a really nice deck area where you can sit and look at the ocean. Bring shampoo the ones they give you are shampoo and conditioner in on packet-a little bigger than a ketchup packet. But altogether i would stay again it was a great atmosphere!

Room was great. View was amazing. If I'm being picky, single ply toilet paper and shotty internet were the reasons it's a 4 not a 5 star rating.

amazing place to stay, waterfront, amazing view. Grounds are well kept. Owner is very accomodating. Only issue we had was the parking. Narrow driveway down to end where you have to park which was very tight-only made for small cars/suvs.

For my wife and I this place was perfect for our needs. The room was spacious, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. The owner was outside all the time, cleaning, watering, and generally doing upkeep. The property is well located. Just a comfortable, homey place. Would definitely return!

We saw and heard sea lions from the sea shore adjacent to the property. Our sweet had very comfortable beds and easy parking. There are three suites that require trickier back into park down a narrow lane. That might be easy for some but I was glad our parking was easier. Hope to return some time.
