The staff were wonderful. We were late in arriving but staff made the check-in process smooth and easy. We were in unit 1 which has a view of the bay and a wonderful outside sitting area with a bbq. Linens were nice and beds comfortable. The heat pump worked well when we needed air conditioning or heat. The staff were very helpful during an unusual heavy rainfall event to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed. We would stay again if we are back in the area. Hot water beach and Cathedral Cove are within easy driving distance.

The rooms were clean and comfortable on the inside. The property on the outside was very unkept. Driving in made me very worried. The owner was very helpful and was helpful with beach towels, dining advice and grocery shopping. Overall our stay was pleasant. Easy walk to a small town. Lots of walking trails and drivable ocean beach.
