Basic Room and Noisy Equipment
Pros:

The manager was very helpful and friendly. He would help call for the free ferry shuttle bus.
He immediately took care of a leaky shower.

Cons:

Very small room, and the noisy air conditioner and refrigerator that had to be turned off to sleep. However, a community icemaker outside the cabin was loud and it ran all night.

It would be helpful if the room had a microwave oven.

Gorgeous beaches and cozy rooms with friendly staff.
Pros:

The rooms were cute and very comfortable and cozy, the beach was clean and gorgeous, and it was in a fantastic location that gave a view of the island and the bridge. The main town was a 1 minute drive or short walk away. Shelly did a fantastic job cleaning our room and made it extremely comfortable to stay in.

Cons:

The bathroom and shower was quite small, making it hard for a tall person like myself. The wifi would cut out somewhat frequently and it never connected to the tv well enough to watch streaming on it.
