Looks clean , chairs umbrellas towels, restrooms nearby, playground for littles, picnic tables, guest laundry, vending machines. (4⭐️ because we didn’t utilize these areas. )Grounds are nicely landscaped. ||⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️good check in and out system via text. Also they tell you when your room is ready, ordering supplies or service. Downfall was the texting service for supplies didn’t seem to work one day . Maybe we didn’t do it right . ||⭐️⭐️⭐️overall room (51) appearance was great. Clean, kitchenette- two burner stove top, refrigerator (smaller than full size but pretty big), dishwasher, dishes, glass ware, cutlery , cookware.LARGE windows and sliding glass doors onto LARGE patio area . Could have 12 people sitting ! Charcoal BBQ. Comfortable bed and couch and dining table. So why only 3⭐️? Keep in mind late august the room was over $600/night. Yea||⭐️patio was listed as ‘private’ on the web site . The entrance is shared. To access 51 at ALL you HAVE to enter 52’s patio. It’s awkward. Imagine- 52’s guests are sitting on their patio and you have to walk past them, through their beach accessories every single time you enter or exit your room. They didn’t seem to happy at times and neither were we. ||⭐️there was limited lighting in 51. The overhead ceiling fan had no bulbs in it. Staff said the owners were going or replace them. Staff came in and put in bulbs. Very dim bulbs. We asked for some other type of lamp for evening which they provided. Still, if you wanted to read at night forget it unless you were in bed. No light over the dining table. ||⭐️kitchen was functional but owners? Labeled a drawer in the already small freezer as theirs… really? And in the kitchen cabinets they had their own food… what? Filthy crusted with food dishes put back in cabinets . Zero coffee supplied. ||⭐️online the pictures depicted a large vanity sink area outside the small bathroom . This was a selling point for me. We like room to spread our toiletries out . We get there and in place of the sink with large vanity? Was a locked closet! The office told us the owners recently started renting and made that area a closet for personal use and they didn’t have time to redo the pics online…. Sorry but there’s zero excuse for not adding on the website that the room has been changed or vanity has been removed. Owners personal items found in a bedside nightstand and also under the bathroom sink. Under the sink was loaded with their items . This bathroom was SMALL. ||⭐️closet space was ok. No full length closet only half for short jackets . Good amount of drawer space in a very narrow hall to bathroom. ||⭐️outside light appeared to not work. The bulb was loose. Really loose but worked when we tightened it. A puddle of water forms right by 51’s entrance from AC overflow . So pull up your pants if need be. ||Overall and sadly we most likely will not return. This is our second time here in 9 yrs. Same story. Misrepresentation of room. For us - the sink, owners leaving personal items (keep in mind this isn’t Airbnb or room for rent. This is advertised as a ‘resort’ with resort pricing ) in an already small space, dealing with for about an hour maintenance issues, false advertising of room function...

We also had the option to use the barbecues in front of the cottages.

What stood out most during our stay was the exceptional service. Every staff member on the property was incredibly helpful during check-in and provided us with valuable information.Since we didnt have our own vehicle, we found it convenient to take a short Uber ride to nearby town, which typically cost around $20 for the distance.

A couple of minor points to note: When I made the reservation over the phone, I was informed that toiletries would be provided, but dental kits were not included in the room amenities, so it's a good idea to bring your own toothpaste. Additionally, there were no phone lines in the room, so if you have any questions or require assistance, you'll need to walk to the front desk, which isn't a significant inconvenience but worth knowing when making...
