Ok but would not recommend
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room although spacious lacked storage space. No place to store clothing or put things. With all the room there should be better furnishings.

We had a relaxing midweek getaway. Great location and friendly staff.
Pros:

Loved the simplicity of the room. You created a peaceful atmosphere which allowed us to completely relax and unwind. Sitting on the deck while listening to the waves was one of my favorite highlights. Little Pub was a great spot to grab a bite to eat. Thank you!

A bit disappointing
Pros:

Clean and neatly decorated. The restaurant attached has good food.

Cons:

The listing describes the king rooms as the ones with a balcony. I booked a king room. I was given a room with a single small window facing the parking lot. It was clear there were not many other guests so not sure why we got stuck upstairs as far away from everything as possible in possibly the worst room they had. The beach is a small 50 ft rock and shell beach, which is listed as a highlight of the property. It was closed and the outside did not smell great so even if it was open you wouldn't have wanted to use it.

Pros:

I sent an separate email directly to the property about some thoughts related to check in policy.

Cons:

That you had bikes.
