This place was perfect! We watched dolphins and whales from the deck. It was the first time my brothers family saw whales. We had a wonderful peaceful quiet family reunion here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great condition. Rooms were private, spacious, and each had a private bathroom. Property was in very good condition with fantastic views. Beds were supportive and comfortable. Kitchen is large enough for 3 people. Great location on the Beach-far enough from the standard public access points. Spacious common areas.
