Pleasantly surprised with this wonderful lodge. Very clean and cozy cottages. Immaculately manicured grounds. Beautiful sunset views of the bay. An easy walk to the beach. Could certainly benefit with a fan in each bedroom though to mitigate the lack of air conditioning. A cheap investment that would make a lot of difference.

I was extremely happy with this accommodation. It was easy to find, walking distance to a beach and restaurant. There was a lookout walking distance as well. Room was clean, staff was friendly and worked hard at keeping everything looking pristine. Fridge was large, lots of storage, and lots of air flow as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Sleepy town, no AC

Adorable, clean, and right by the ocean! The only downsides were no AC AND no fan (it was very warm and stuffy most of the night), and everything in the town closed by 8.
