Summary: very nice cabin with a good area being close to King Beach and 7 minutes from Safeway, the only thing is that the facilities like the laundry room you have to go through a room to get to the laundry when it should be outside easily accessible. Also the bathroom downstairs although it is shared with 2 rooms is inside them. The main room was large, spacious and clean. I liked it a lot. What I didn't like was that to get to it we have to go through a room first and sometimes out of shame we had to wait for those in the room to wake up before we could go out, although I'm not complaining that the room has a large and very nice bathroom. The locations were somewhat strange if we talk about the rooms but everything was very nice and accessible with good Internet. We were able to use the TV without problems and they had many things accessible. Really highly recommended. We hope to return
