Our stay was great! The view is amazing and I loved that all of the rooms face the water. The room was so comfortable, and its in a great location. The only thing I rated less than 5 stars was the upkeep of the property itself, it could have used some landscaping/weed treatment and the bugs were so bad outside our room/on the property. Overall, it was great and we would definitely return!

There is no staff at check in. If you don't have the internet good luck to get into your room. The grounds were weedy and overgrown. Both tables were tipped over from the wind. The room was musty smelling. Just not worth 300$/ night.
