The rooms aren't anything fancy, but that's why the price is more reasonable. They are clean (thanks Daneika! you did great), comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful, which made for an enjoyable stay.

Birthday Retreat.

I rented this as a birthday gift for my daughter and her bf of 6 years. They had a wonderful experience!! The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean. They want to go back and take me with them because they enjoyed themselves so much.

Cabins are very dated. Old carpet old furniture. Felt like chairs and tables were going to break. Bathroom door was paneling with a hook for a lock. We could have have paid almost half and stayed someplace better. Nice to have beach access but just about every hotel has beach access. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were clean but BERY dated. Falling apart.

Great Place Overall

We were very pleased with our cottage, and so was my father-in-law who had the one next door. We wished we'd been able to stay for more than one night so as to experience all that the Beach House had to offer, as well as the surrounding area. My only complaint (which I communicated to the manager on staff - who was very helpful) was that they didn't have any electrical outlets easily accessible except in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The only other outlets were for lamps over the beds, and the outlets were behind the beds and not accessible. Not being able to plug our phones in near the bed or my computer in when I needed to check my emails was frustrating.

I liked how cute the property was. Being in a cabin right on the water was wonderful. Beds were very uncomfortable and thin. Everything was clean so that was a bonus. The property manager was rude to us. We arrived prior to 4pm and asked if the cabin was ready and said if not, it was not a big deal, we would go explore and come back. He was rude and kept saying, "I cannot get anything done with these people bothering me all day". He did have a cabin ready for us and showed us where it was located. However, we were never provided the wifi password and we had to go back and ask, apparently there was a shuttle to the ferry we were not told about either. I saw people having a fire on the beach from the other cabins and I have no idea what that was about. Just some really poor communication on check in not making us feel welcome. The place was cute, but he made the excitement we had for the place disappear.
