Lovely cabin to stay in for a short stay. Enjoyed having a fire pit to use. Only downside is how close the neighbors are to the property, as the fire pit is right next to the neighbors hot tub and both neighbors were playing loud music.

Great location, cabin not well maintained

Good area, quiet street, very close to water, kayaks were nice, host timely with communication. Cabin not very well maintained, with issues such as very old appliances, freezer not able to be used (frozen over), microwave button labels have worn off so there’s no way to tell what the buttons actually do, shower leaked down to the first floor, grill igniter doesn’t work. We expected very minimal amenities and a rustic cabin, but feel there could be more attention paid to bare essentials and regular maintenance.

Hi Misty, it's a rustic cabin, the look of the appliances are old but they all work fine and are in great shape. We have provided lighter to turn on the bbq/burner incase igniter does not work. If you do not cover the bathroom curtains while shower, the water will come out, that's why the bathroom curtains are there.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach-facing cabin with our dog! The property was clean, well maintained, and everything was in perfect working order. The views were beautiful, and we had a relaxing, enjoyable getaway. We’d definitely recommend it and would love to return!
