"I had a wonderful stay at the hostel! The place is always clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready to assist whenever you reach out. I also had the chance to meet new guests and truly enjoyed my time here. I'm definitely planning to come back soon and even extend my stay next time. A special shoutout to the manager, Nick!

Limantour Lodge-Meadow Suite- Three rooms with a view!

6.0 out of 10, (1)
"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge. It would be perfect if I wasn’t traveling with a toddler who wants to get into everything. Location is about a five minute drive from the beach. We saw a ton of deer. It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access. Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place. If you need a base...

"The listing claims 5 bedrooms and 7 beds. THIS IS A LIE! The house has 4 bedrooms and 5 beds. Host was argumentative and unwilling to make things right by me and my team some of which had to sleep on couches. Host texted morning of check out and told us to leave by 10am when the listing says 11am. The house is old and outdated. Worst experience EVER!!!Do not rent from this liar. "
