Good, comfortable property right off the beach. Private, and easy access to road and dining options. Definitely not a motel feel (with individual cottage concept).

This ocean front property is conveniently located to Pancake Rocks. The cabin location is ideal for touring in this area. The layout of the kitchen, bathroom, and living space is quite workable. The bedroom is a bit small but had a comfortable queen bed. The staff were very helpful and there was parking next to the cabin. Highly recommend this location.

Right on the beach off highway 6 and around the bend from the Pancake Rocks and Cave attractions. Room was clean and had bed and separate sitting area. Wi-Fi for us was spotty at times. Nearest restaurant down the road about 400 m where you also check-in. We thought room was fine for a night’s stay.
