    The cottages need serious updating. Bathrooms and kitchens are outdated. We look forward to returning once they are redone.

    Location was perfection. We were thrilled with hoe convenient the location was. Staff was also excellent. We appreciated the use of the beach chairs and bikes and love that this location allows pets.

    Our cottage could definitely use a little update. The flooring had some discoloration issues & scuff marks from doors not fitting properly. Our bathroom door in particular didn't open fully so we kept bumping into it every time we tried to walk out. And, the hot water didn't stay very hot for very long. Bed was super creaky.

    Perfect location! A short walk from the ferries in case you don't have a car, close to lots of nearby shops/restaurants, & located right on the docks for fantastic views. The staff here could not be nicer or more helpful. Clean & comfortable.

    The Keurig coffee maker didn't work and had to be replaced. And while they left Keurig pods for tea and decaf, there was no caffeinated coffee, so I had to buy my own. The rooms were clean-ish but very tired and needed attention.

    The location was excellent except that there was construction going on right near our room. The beds, pillows and towels were excellent. People were very nice.

    I didn’t like the noise from the cart going back and forth on the boardwalk. The bars or boats were quite raucous till 2 in the morning when I wished for better insulation to sleep!

    I liked the proximity to the town area. The cottage was fully equipped but dated. My bed was very comfortable. Most employees were very kind and helpful.

    Nice location for walking downtown!

    • Two Bedroom Cottage with Trundle Bed
    • Stayed 3 nights

    When booking I was under the impression that "2 bedrooms with a trundle" meant 2 normal size beds PLUS a trundle (since it says it sleeps 6). Unfortunately one of the 2 bedrooms just has a trundle. The other thing to sleep on was the pull out couch in the living room which was extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, the only comfortable sleeping arrangement for adults was the 1 queen bed. It is also very noisy around the cottages throughout the night due to people partying on their boats- You can't hear this from the bedrooms but if you must sleep on the pullout it's difficult.

    If you are looking to be right downtown this location is perfect! You can walk to all of the shops and restaurants. We also loved the shuttle that brings you to the beaches- driver was super friendly and they provide everything you need for the beach (chairs, towels, waters, etc)!

    The bathroom, especially the shower, was very small and the water pressure was pretty bad. We managed no problem, but others might take issue with it. It was definitely busy all around too, depending on the time of day, with people on the docks and boats coming in and out. We thought this was part of the fun, but if you’re looking for a quiet getaway, this place might not be for you!

    The location was excellent - so nice to be able to walk instead of dealing with traffic and taxis. If you did want to go anywhere though, the complimentary shuttle was so convenient and nice. They also provided all the beach stuff you needed (already in the van!) so you never had to deal with gear! Loved the view (we were up high). The boat and people watching was very fun. The bed was also comfortable.

    All rooms should have mirrors and some type of rack/hooks for hanging clothes. The room was small which was expected but I had to put my clothes in the other bedroom closet and dry my hair in entry way.
