Great place to just unplug

This property is cute & quaint. You can totally loose yourself in the peacefulness the Beach Cave has to offer. It rained practically the entire time we were there, but that just created an ambience suitable to the rest we were looking for.

Hidden Gem!

Couldn’t believe how clean, comfortable, easy to access, quiet, and beautiful this place was for the price! Amazing little beach cave nook less than 10 min drive from the beach with so much space and even a whole kitchen! Would 10/10 recommend!

The room was perfect for us. We were vacationing in the area with family. The rest of the family had rented a large condo. We spent most of our time with them. The room was fine. The bed was comfortable. It was very clean. Its quirky factors were charming—one window (door), no connectivity—WiFi or cell— required some planning. But we slept great & enjoyed our stay at the Beach Cave!

Cave is right

Low quality at low price. Had to go outside to use cell phone or my hotspot. No bathroom sink and poor lighting. If you want to look in a mirror to shave or apply makeup, you’ll have to use the mirror over the toilet or on a wall in a closet. Kept my toothpaste and comb on the kitchen counter. Clean and quiet, so if you’re ok with a very soft mattress and thin sheets, you can get a good night’s sleep. If this is what you can afford, go for it. If you can afford better, go for better.

Wow that’s unfortunate… The place was once a recording studio and Near the Bay here is bad for reception and it’s more of a place to unplug for a few days. The place is quirky, and we are straight forward about that, but we have to do the best we can w limited space and creating a no contact, peaceful stay. There is no sink in the bathroom, just a shower and toilet. There is the kitchen sink on the adjoining wall so most people just take two steps further to brush their teeth, and it’s not a big deal. There is a few shelves next to the mirror, which is above the toilet. We put an extra mirror in the closet and one near the bed, so someone can use those. The bed we recently bought and it’s medium firm. The sheets aren’t extra thin but we bought extra soft ones- we thought that’s a good thing? There’s tons of lights in the space tho. I’m not sure how the lighting would be considered bad. I think it’s a good option compared to spending a lot more money at the resorts near us. We offer the best rate, by far, of anything without a shared space in this area. To give you an idea, resort at Watercolor is around $600-750 a night, when we are around $75-125 this time of year. Somehow being reasonable is a bad thing in your review , but I would agree if you can pay that much more then go ahead. It is nice but cost so much more. I don’t blame anyone but if you d rather put that money into enjoying the area and having a peaceful place to stay, then we are your place 100% in this area. If you easily see the bad in things rather than the positive then yes, you might feel this way but luckily you are the first person with those expectations, which are unrealistic, as there is always bigger and better right? At least you said it’s clean and quiet… We accept all reservations without delay. We have put a lot into the place and I hope your review won’t dissuade anyone else from staying with us and enjoying our area and The Beach Cave. It is good to know we named it correctly and a cave is a good place for a relaxing stay after all. So though we don’t foresee having you back, I appreciate that you gave it a try and I hope other hosts meet your expectations better. It hurts to face such criticism but certainly we all face adversity, and we will continue to get better!
