Top The Hook Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, high end amenities"

Windows on the Waves

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot to watch the whales and the surfers. And just up the street there is a little market that sells food and everything else if things were forgotten. House was unbelievable. The wall to wall window view of the ocean. Can’t wait to get back. And bring some beach toys. At home and already missing that place. The front deck over looking the ocean and everything is where it’s at. Spent a lot of time there. There was a huge bbq there but never got to use it."

Gorgeous Pleasure Point Home - Sleeps 10!

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great for our multi- generational family vacation. The location is amazing (so many fun things to do 20 minutes or less drive). The house had plenty of room for our 10 family members and I appreciated the main suite on the kitchen floor for my mom, minimizing the times she had to use the stairs. The property is managed really well and everything ran very smoothly."

Pleasure Point Cottage Steps from Surf

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay and loved the place! It is in a perfect location right next to Pleasure Point and we loved walking just 2 blocks to watch the surfers— such a mesmerizing view. The beds were extremely comfortable and we slept so well, which is a top priority for us! The house was quiet, clean, cute and overall very comfortable. Loved having the back patio and the washer and dryer came in handy too. Comfy couch to hang out in the evenings which isn’t always the case in vacation rentals. It wasn’t necessarily well stocked so come prepared. It would be nice to have a better coffee situation (only a few keurig cups available), there was no shower soap, no coasters in the house (really want to be able to protect furniture), no wash cloths, and not enough toilet paper to last our 6 nights. I feel that these things should be stocked for a short stay like this. We brought our own coffee but it wouldn’t work in the keurig provided. Otherwise the experience was really wonderful and we would return again!"
