Really nice spot, with access to dunes. Room was mostly clean, with minor dust and some cobwebs in bathroom. Really thin walls! Can hear neighbors TV, door slamming in the morning when they left! Could use better black out curtains for windows and in bathroom (completely see through). Overall, really good location and Was able to bring my dog 🐶

Very good stay, and would do it again. Staff was great. Very clean. Bathroom sink needs to be replaced, and bathroom could use exhaust fan. Common room was cozy and inviting. Very to close to nearby attractions.

This was just as advertised. Great location. Good place to stay if you are traveling with pets. Manager is responsive, but not on premises. This was a problem when I locked myself out the room with phone and dog inside. Fortunately, Service person for septic cleaning was there and called Manager who did appear to unlock the door within a half hour.

We enjoyed spending time with our dog and walking the trails. The dune climb and driving trail were both close by. Our room was very comfortable. We spent our meal time in the community room. It was nice to have a spot to eat.
