The Honest Truth
This is not a resort. It’s a string of tidy waterfront cottages with private entrances and ocean views, plus direct beach access. No on-site dining or housekeeping, but fresh coffee each morning and easy access to Acadia. Great value for space and location; not for guests seeking full-service hotel vibes.
Who Should Skip This
