Beautiful property and a very nice room. Staff was very acommodating and helpful! We mentioned our refrigerator sounded loud, like something was wrong with the compressor. We told them we didn't need a new one at that time, but when we came back from being out and about later, they had already brought a new one to our room. Thank you!!

Cozy, clean and comfortable

Great place to stay and nice location. Friendly staff upon check in. Like the towel policy. Just leave in bag outside room, and replaced with fresh towels. I hate to give too good a review - because I want to keep coming back to this gem, and don’t want others to find it! 😊 Will be back again.

I loved the overall look of the property. It was clean and the room was the perfect size and set up for 2 people! Was also glad the owners decided to keep the heated pool and hot tub open while we were there first full week of October.

Perfect Getaway Hotel

What a lovely hotel and one of the few with a nice private beach. The room and grounds were spotless. Staff was very nice and helpful. Beautiful large walk-in shower and big fireplace. We had our own porch. Perfect get away!
