A lovely unit, well stocked and private. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog (we scrubbed her paws more than we do at home!) She was so excited to see the rabbits on the trails, and the deer that walked past our back door! Would definitely stay here again.

5 starsWe really enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway! The space was comfortable and had everything we needed for both day-to-day living and beach outings. The outdoor area was a real highlight; peaceful and private, with a BBQ and a lovely view of the forest. We even spotted deer and bunnies right outside, which made it feel extra special. Would definitely stay again!
