We stayed at Sea Star Haven for two nights from Wednesday, October 16 to Friday morning, October 18. Overall, it was a good experience. The house is beautiful, cozy, and very clean, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, there are a few things that future guests should be aware of to better prepare for their stay:
1. **No Cell Service**: Once you get into town, there is no cell service. Be sure to plan ahead if you need communication or navigation tools that rely on cellular data.
2. **Limited Dining Options**: The only restaurant in town Coastal Kitchen is closed Monday through Wednesday, so be sure to bring all your meals with you, especially if you're staying mid-week like we did.
3. **Raccoons at Night**: There's a family of raccoons living under the house next door, and they got into the trash and were quite loud during the night. If you're taking out trash after dark, be cautious. They are very cute but very feisty!
4. **Power Outage**: On our last night, the power went out. While the backup generator worked for a while, we had no Wi-Fi or power when we woke up in the morning. This meant no coffee, no hot breakfast, and we had to take cold showers. The power didnât come back on until 9:45 am, which was quite inconvenient since check-out is at 11 am.
Overall, itâs a lovely place to stay, but just be mindful of these things to ensure youâre fully prepared!
