Can’t say enough about Cliff Haven on the bay! Very clean and fully equipped with kitchen utensils and coffee makers and supplies. And you certainly can’t beat the view! Beds were also very comfortable. The one small issue we had was resolved almost immediately. Communication was easy and excellent right from the time we booked. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend a stay here and are looking forward to coming back in the future.

There is a spectacular view from the deck of this cabin. It is a generous size and very clean. The walk from the free parking to the cabin is a little awkward but not long..It involves negotiating a sloped lawn and is difficult if you are handicapped. The owners were friendly and very helpful.

Beautiful views there where no curtains so 5am I woke up because it was bright. Everything for cooking was available and the balcony totally nice during the day and the night. Beds were comfortable. 99% clean just a little dusty.

Loved the view and the quiet privacy. Lovely little cabin. However, possibly due to slow communication from Expedia , I did not receive the email with the directions or door code. Finding the place in the dark with no directions with just the map app is practically impossible. The address of the cabin is at the top of a narrow dead end lane and the address of the host is difficult to find as the house number is very small and neither that nor the small sign for the cabin is not lit in anyway . Taking the directions given by the map app, you will only see the back of the sign. After an hour , I finally found it , and once I did, it was a great place and I really enjoyed it :)

Cottage was clean, well equipped kitchen with air fryer, microwave, mini fridge, toaster and stove top. Bedding and towels are of very good quality. Bbq on the deck was a plus. Will definitely recommend the cottage to friends.
