Check-in was easy, cottage was very clean and staff were easily accessible for any questions. I was a little worried that staying on the marina, I might hear a lot of noise - the ferry/boats or people dining outside. I heard nothing except a few very faint ferry horns. The kitchen was great with a little fridge & freezer, toaster oven and microwave. A perfect little getaway spot!

Door Locks

The stay was great. There were two items with the stay that need addressing, one is that we couldn’t get the door to lock so we felt like we had to take our possessions with us every time we left the facility. Also, someone had left their Netflix account on the tv but required a code so we weren’t able to enter our own Netflix account.

Details matter

Great location, beautiful views of marina, comfortable bed. Needs some attention to small things: Light at bedside and tp holder coming out of wall, beach chair was broken/unusable and needed a good dusting. Would stay there again!

Simply perfect!

Everything was relaxing and easy. Just what a quick getaway is supposed to be. Golf cart was a must for us and had 0 issues with it. We had our boat at the marina so super convenient. If I had to suggest anything it would be an indoor door mat to help prevent sandy floors. Hard to not get sandy feet at the beach. Thank you!!!

Quick wedding weekend.

Great marina location. Clean and comfortable. Not terribly roomy, but that was fine. We didn't spend much time in the unit anyway.

Great for a few nights

Really good location on BHI. Easy access to the marina area restaurants and shops. The included golf cart makes everything easy to reach. The rental Company could do a better job of providing information about BHI. For example, Since it was our first time we didn’t know that certain restaurants were members only until we had booked. Also, the kitchenette was missing some standard items like a cork screw and a sharp knife. But the room served its purpose and we would stay there again
