"Cabin was excellent. Never figured out how to get the fireplace to work as the switch did nothing, and it could use a pool and laundry facilities, but otherwise it was great. Full kitchen and multiple patios with furniture to sit outside. Tile and appliances are a little outdated but still quite functional. Tvs in multiple rooms. Would stay there again."

"Great beachfront location and a charming historic hotel that offered a unique experience. The breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the character of the building. However, the towels and bed linens were noticeably old and worn, and the bed sheets had stains. While I understand the challenges of maintaining a property near the beach, the condition of the linens fell below expectations."
