Kitchen
Great stay, just wish it had more cooking items. Had to buy a toaster. If you want to prepare food it isn’t possible.

Cabin-like facilities with porches for sitting.
Clean, but worn flooring. Live music from the bar on the property late into the night.

Room was decent, beds comfy and liked having the fridges microwave. Check in was slow and there was additional almost $17 fee charged for what I'm not sure, it is not a resort. Also, no hairdryer. Not a bad stay though. Expensive, but so was other places in area. The last couple hurricanes ticket this area. Maybe less fees if booked directly but not sure.

Good place to stay.
The room has basic amenities and was comfortable. Given the area is still recovering from the previous hurricane, the owners have made sure that those visiting have what they need. My only concern is not having a second lock (latch) that was not part of the digital main lock.

Spartan but clean and comfortable.
This is definitely not a place for anyone expecting anything above very basic accommodations. Rustic and minimalist as well as small. It was clean and beds comfortable however spillover noise from the bar/restaurant was loud and bothersome well into the night.
The staff was friendly but a bit overwhelmed for check in and we were disappointed in dinner. As this area recovers from what was obviously severe impacts of the Helene hurricane, we wish them well.

Has great live music at restaurant but then when going back to our resort room to sleep and turn in for the night we could still hear that live restaurant music untill 11 pm, nearly midnight 👎 and trying to sleep after a long day of driving. Food at the restaurant was good and convenient after a long day. And staff were friendly and helpful.
