Halfmoon Haven Beach Cottage or Oceanview Suite♡

Great property on the ocean, would definitely return.

Location right on the beach was wonderful. Fire pit and outside seating was great. Kitchen had all the items you would need. Lounge was comfortable, bathrooms well stocked with towels and shampoo, conditioner etc. most bedrooms were great, bed comfort good but not great.

− Main bed in fourth bedroom was very uncomfortable. Looks like it’s meant for kids but has an outside door and a sink etc so not suitable for kids.

Thank you for sharing your bit of paradise with us

The view was superb. Very comfortable cottage.

Unclean, not well maintained suite, unclear rules, and unpleasant interactions made this a bad time.

We liked the hot tub, the beach, and the suite was large enough to comfortably host a group of people.

− We were told by the host there were professional cleaners who clean this suite and I believe part of our cost included cleaning fees. Unfortunately, the suite was very dirty (ie dust, dirty utensils and plates, dirty pots, dirty stove, carpet, used cork in the bottle opener still). There were a lot of rules but many of it was unclear. The rules were either different from what we read versus what the host told us, or the rules were scattered in writing all over the property and you would only know if you really tried to look for it. It would have been much more helpful to have ALL the rules for everything we were expected to follow written in 1 policy manual and preferably in a digital format that can be sent to every guest with ease and without any confusion. The most disappointing was essentially being told we couldn't make any sort of noise whatsoever. It was daytime when we were in the parking lot unloading a kayak to use at the beach, which we knew there were kayak rentals available and assumed that kayaking and other water sports were welcomed at this location. An assistant came out of the yurt and told the guests who were unloading the kayak that they were not allowed to make noise. All they were doing were talking at a decently low volume (no one could hear them in the suite at least) and unloading kayaks. They felt so uncomfortable they drove onto the road to reload the kayak when they were done. Another guest went outside to speak on the phone. Again, was not speaking loudly but another woman (not sure if this was the same assistant who introduced herself to the other guests) came out to stare at the guest speaking quietly on the phone. This is unacceptable behavior from a staff to be honest. We would have liked to have spoken with management at this point but the office in the front always seemed to be closed.

It’s perfect for big family trip with kids

The cottage is very spacious and well equipped, it is so close to the beach and the view is stunning. The host ia very nice and gentle.

− Nothing much we don’t like. May be better to have cleaner carpets.
