Amazing setting with a great view of the ocean. Cabin was in excellent condition, very clean with a great wood cabin vibe. The whole process of checking in was seamless. The staff stayed in communication and all we needed was the code for the door. Very comfortable bed, and a heater was provided which worked great. Would definitely stay here again.
