I booked this for my 80 year old in laws and it was just okay. Upon check in there was no hand soap and only 2 towels for the whole week. For the price they paid I would expect a small set of travel toiletries and maybe a few k cups for the first night. I asked for more towels and hand soap and received a somewhat curt reply. There were also two twin roll away beds taking up a large amount of space in the cabin. My in laws said the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The golf cart works nicely too. This would be a great place for a few nights but probably would not book again for a week long stay.

Check-in was easy, cottage was very clean and staff were easily accessible for any questions. I was a little worried that staying on the marina, I might hear a lot of noise - the ferry/boats or people dining outside. I heard nothing except a few very faint ferry horns. The kitchen was great with a little fridge & freezer, toaster oven and microwave. A perfect little getaway spot!

Details matter

Great location, beautiful views of marina, comfortable bed. Needs some attention to small things: Light at bedside and tp holder coming out of wall, beach chair was broken/unusable and needed a good dusting. Would stay there again!
