What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 211 guest reviews
Wanderer Cottages earns consistently glowing feedback, driven by an exceptionally warm and attentive staff and a generous range of amenities — from a heated saltwater pool and sauna to complimentary s'mores kits and beach bikes — that guests feel set the property apart. Minor friction points include an AC unit on a timer that can't be freely adjusted, grounds that could use better upkeep, and some confusion over pricing discrepancies between the property's website and third-party booking platforms. The remote setting suits those seeking peace and quiet, though guests looking for walkable attractions should be aware of the limited surroundings.
