Good location with private beach

They misled you to believe all rooms are waterfront

Rishabh · US · 2026-07-06

It was nice but disappointed by water shut off and having to get up early on final day

Location

Bathroom fan broken, heat stove wouldn’t work, water was shut off from 9-11 am so we were forced to get up and leave early since checkout was at 11 am.

9.0

Die Lodge liegt an der Hauptstraße. Das ist in einigen Wohneinheiten ziemlich ungünstig, da laut. Und die Wände und Fenster sind wie fast immer in USA dünn. Aber wir hatten großes Glück und durch die nette Rezeptionistin eine sehr ruhige Suite bekommen. Nicht mit Seeblick aber weg von der Straße! Die Küche war super ausgestattet. Sogar Spülmaschine. Der See ist großartig.

Appreciated being able to be on the beach till we were able to check in. The staff were friendly.

9.0

The location is great. We had a nice room. Beach access is fantastic.

Would love for the property to have umbrellas on the beach. Would have liked a bigger fridge in our room.
