Can’t say enough about Cliff Haven on the bay! Very clean and fully equipped with kitchen utensils and coffee makers and supplies. And you certainly can’t beat the view! Beds were also very comfortable. The one small issue we had was resolved almost immediately. Communication was easy and excellent right from the time we booked. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend a stay here and are looking forward to coming back in the future.

Liked the fact it was a cute cottage with spacious rooms.
Owner graciously allowed us to drop off our bags before check in time.
Main room could have been better lit.
