We had the best time here! Allen was so helpful and nice. Great location near restaurants and right on the beach. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back soon.
Very nice unit, semi private beach with kayaking and sail boat on site!

This property was really beautiful and nice and inviting will definitely be booking again
Allen the owner was very friendly and helpful. We rented 2 of his cottages. Each unit was clean and comfortable. Allen included some water, beer and wine. There is a nice beach within steps. I would say the only down side is the road getting in is a bit tough to navigate. There were deep holes and very big rocks to navigate.
Overall we would stay again, hopefully the road will be repaired.

We loved this resort. Quiet, remote, clean and on a secluded bay. The cottage was fabulous and Allan Hamilton a gracious and caring host. Highly recommend Great Cistern to all who seek rest and a stress-free atomosphere

It was very comfortable. We like the quiet space and the everyone had a good rest.
If you're look for something away from the crowd of the marina or off the beaten path, this is for you. Allen is still in a building phase but everything was perfect. The private beach area is absolutely dreamy and rental had everything we needed. It was clean, well appointed, and has the best views. Also- Allen was really helpful and informative about dining and local options.
