Definitely home away from home feel at the cabins!

My family & I really enjoyed our stay at View of the Sea. Mark & Gina were friendly & made us feel at home. The kids were happy the cabins had WiFi & I was happy they had a fully stocked kitchen. There wasn't anything I needed that wasn't there for me. There was bottled water in the fridge & some coffee to get me started before I could get to the store. I really liked the that there was only 3 cabins so it wasn't over crowed with people. It was quiet & we had a beautiful view. We definitely would recommend staying there & will be back again. Cindy
