Nice small room with 2 double beds. Would have more room with one queen as it was tight. The restaurant was convenient but pricey for quality of food. Loved having an ocean front view. Super busy location but staff handled it well.

We liked the ocean view room with a deck and the prompt and cordial restaurant service. We would have liked a restaurant that stayed open until nine and breakfast included in our nightly rate.

The cupboard above the stove in cabin 13 is falling down and needs attention. There's not enough comfortable seating in the living room for 4 people; there is room for at least one more comfortable chair other than the kitchen table chairs.
