WiFi sucks but the view is beautiful beyond words. Peaceful & problem-free. No ramps or wheelchair access to the cabins, handrail partially obstructed by the house. Not recommended for anyone with bad knees.

We wanted to go somewhere for our tenth anniversary that wasn't too expensive or to far away from home. This place fit the bill and for the price I was a little nervous that it might be dirty, but it wasn't at all! I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and tidy our cabin was (#5). It was also more spacious than I was imagining, though it isn't large, our family of 4 fit in nicely and we could have squeezed one more person in, if we had to. It was fairly well stocked with pans, silverware, plates, cups, and bowls, as well as a full stove/oven and refrigerator, and included a small microwave. The public beach was really close (less than 1000ft) and was mostly clean! There was a convenient hose under the cabin (because everything here is on stilts) for washing off beach sand before entering the cabin. The owners were nice and were actually still trying to finish up repairs (from damage from hurricane Ida) on a couple cabins while we were there. They gave us good advise about places to go and things to do, as many things were still shutdown due to hurricane Ida damage. The good news is that if you happen to forget to bring something, the local stores usually have diverse supplies and you are likely to find what you need. I was even able to find a couple gluten free surprises at Sureway! Just be aware that some places have different hours than those on Maps, so you may need to check if a place is open or not. We are so glad we came here and we were all happy with our vacation!

We wanted a clean place to sleep while we enjoyed a peaceful time sitting on the beach enjoying the waves and birds and that's exactly what we got. The room was very clean but the string smell of the cleaner they used was gross and hard for me as a person with a chemical scent sensitivity. With no screens on the windows I couldn't really air it out either. I wonder if the cleaning solution is being mixed improperly? The mattresses are memory foam.

Clean, early check in wasn’t a problem. I would make a few recommendations but not a necessity. A clothes line outside to hang/dry towels or wet clothing would’ve been a plus. If we were there longer I was going to tie fishing string to the screws under the covered area and buy some clothes pins a rug at the door maybe but we used a towel, thankfully we brought extra. Also, bathroom rug but again…a towel sufficed. Overall it was great. We would definitely stay again and know what to bring differently next time

I stayed in one of the cabins for 5 nights. It's nice, clean and perfect for what I needed. Not super comfortable seating but I wasn't spending much time at the cabin anyway but had no issues and parking was very easy.
