Absolutely Awesome Beach front retreat is just that…….. absolutely awesome. Just the place for a little weekend getaway with friends or just for 2. The view is stunning & a very short walk to the beach. Very relaxing listening to the waves in the evening. Loved the hot tub too. Very clean & tidy. Wished we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend this special place.

Lovely relaxed setting.

This place is a gem. The location is superb, only a short walk down to the beach which was great for fishing. The cabins are comfy and clean and we loved the covered deck for sitting and admiring the ocean and the sunset. Lynette is an awesome host, friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

Amazing location

Awesome location- nice place to destress with the family. We were a group of 7; the weather limited outdoor access- if fine it would be superb. It would be amazing for a smaller group or two couples. A definite place to revisit.
