Very nice single units. We stayed in two of the beachside cottages. They were clean, had sufficient kitchen/dishware, and were decorated in a tasteful, seaside motif. The kayaks were a wonderful addition and our boys enjoyed taking them out. They are located a bit away from main, busy areas but if you have a car rental then this is not a concern. The quiet, quaint location was welcoming. Sam was a gracious host and addressed any questions quickly and shared some insight to local sites/restaurants we could try during our stay. We would certainly stay here again.

If you're look for something away from the crowd of the marina or off the beaten path, this is for you. Allen is still in a building phase but everything was perfect. The private beach area is absolutely dreamy and rental had everything we needed. It was clean, well appointed, and has the best views. Also- Allen was really helpful and informative about dining and local options.

The property boasts a beautiful view and is part of a new construction, which made everything feel fresh and modern. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the space was generous—with a roomy kitchen, large bedrooms, a spacious family room, and a wide deck to enjoy the scenery. The internet was fast, and ceiling fans throughout the home added to the comfort, especially on warmer days. One of the standout features was how quiet the location was—great for relaxing or getting work done. The host was outstanding—they went above and beyond by personally walking me through the property to explain how everything worked, pointing out local attractions, dropping me off at the car rental agency, and being very responsive whenever I had questions or concerns. It’s rare to find such a committed and thoughtful host. On top of all this, the price was excellent compared to similar properties in the area. There are a few things to be aware of. The water has a moderate sulfur smell/taste, which is not uncommon in some areas but might take getting used to. The access road for the last quarter mile is quite rough—small cars may have difficulty with clearance, so I’d strongly recommend a rental car with higher ground clearance. Additionally, the nearest grocery stores and bars are not within walking distance, so having a vehicle is essential. My airport taxi was $50, which further supports the idea of renting a car upon arrival. Overall, this was a great stay with many highlights. If you're
