Location, location, location!!! Literally, 1 min from the beach! Continental breakfast was great too. Fully equipped kitchen was very convenient and the BBQ on the main deck super easy to use too. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately the room was not very clean. We had to ask to replace the sheets on both beds as they were dirty and had some hairs on them. We also had to sweep the floors (but there was a broom in the room, so only took a min).

I've been here 3 times in the last couple years and it's one of my favorite summer road trip places to go. The cove is right there no need to drive to the beach and each room is like a tiny house so it has everything you need. I love that I can bring my dog because I take her on all my vacations. The staff is so nice and helpful and there's a Starbucks at the end of the street which is a bonus since I love coffee! I would come here again.

I appreciated being walking distance to the beach and having the outside shower to rinse the sand off. The place was very cute, cozy & had all of kitchen necessities. I also liked having the ouside patio area with the view of the beach. I would defin recommend & go back.

The only thing missing was a fan would have been nice for when we got back from the beach, it was still hot outside. Also, the jets in the tub did not work.

Coffee.. Terrible in both room coffee and breakfast room. I asked that my room be cleaned on 3rd day . I was told that it would be but it wasn't. Also lets be honest, the 50.00 pet fee per day is just pure profit and greed. with washable floors why the extra charge? My dog and I were certainly cleaner than most people

My partner and I stayed at ocean echo before. Our room was located outside with a private entrance. However, this room was located in the main building close to 2 other rooms. The other guests were extremely loud which did not give us peace and quiet we were hoping for. The room is a descent size and has great amenities, but the shower was not detailed. There was still hair in the tub. The shower curtain had orange stains and smelled of mildew. I was disappointed. But the location is great. The beach is 10 steps away. Great stay if you can get a private cottage.

There’s a ping pong table, but I think a hot tub would be a great addition!

The location was definitely amazing. The people are really kind. The cottages were pretty cute and homey.

The bathroom had a scent to it other than that everything was nice. I was a little upset about the cottage being a little too small for the price I got it but the memories that I made there definitely made up for it. Thank you

The front desk reception person was very nice and helped us feel comfortable right away. She showed us the layout of the place and we were able to have a family special dinner on the patio area with an ocean view. The continental breakfast was also good and nice to have for our stay!

A lower level would have been nice but it was still fine.

Super close to sunny cove. Very clean. Cute kitchenette. Starbucks right across the street.

The breakfast was weak for the price. Not many stores or restaurants around. Staff was fine. Not overly friendly. It was overpriced even being near the beach because there was no view to enjoy from our room.

Steps from sunny cove beach. Small kitchen. Dog friendly. Sat up on the deck for cocktails and the ocean view. Location is good, many restaurants near by. TV didn’t work and they fixed the issue quickly. Continental breakfast good.

Didn’t have a view. Loud every morning, children outside by 7am waking us up🥴. The bathroom sink sits on top of the counter and was difficult for me to use, it’s way too high.

It’s very well organized and feels like everyone had their little space.

we loved the property, unfortunately the weather was bad and we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space as much as we would like, but it has nothing to do with our stay. we can’t wait to go back in the summer
