Room was perfect for the three of us. Clean. Enjoyed the food we got. The menu has updated from what the room binder had in it. Price was fair, expected to be higher being right off the trail.

The views of the ocean were great! We had a bottom unit though and the people upstairs were very loud and were stomping everywhere. Try not to get the bottom suite! Otherwise the place is perfect!

From the description and pictures of the property, we were expecting a kitchen in our cabin. Nothing. Since the cabins are different, proper details should be included. Furniture was uncomfortable. Not good value for an expensive place

These individual units provide an absolutely beautiful view. Each one is independent from others so it is very quiet. The unit is well maintained with a comfortable bed, all amenities, and a porch on which you can sit and hear the water lapping on the rocks. There is a restaurant associated with the cottages which also has a great view. Dinner was nice. Breakfast is $15 for those staying at the property and it is not inidivually prepared - more of a continental breakfast. I would not recommend breakfast if you would like a more individualize breakfast. Otherwise, this is a great place and I would recommend it.

The cabin was beautiful and clean with a fantastic view from the balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a list of places we could go for food nearby as it was still early in the season and their attached restaurant was still closed.

We had a fabulous stay. The property offers beautiful views. The room was clean and cozy. The wine glasses were a nice touch after drinking wine out of paper/plastic cups at our other accommodations. :) The staff were super helpful & friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. We ordered several apps for a late night snack and had the breakfast. Both were delicious!
