"This place is in a spectacular spot but is in need of a severe overhaul! The rooms are beyond dated. Just don't look closely. It's like you stepped into the 60's. That being said they were clean enough. Loved the little deck off the room with chairs. The lodge was quaint and had pool tables and a band playing outside. Hard to navigate the property to find your room. It's huge and a maze. The big draw here is it sits right at the ocean. Look at it as summer camp, not a fancy place. Had a room with a working fireplace, that was a nice touch. They gave you wood and fire starters."
