Buena Vista is a gem. Really comfortable and so well laid out and equipped with good kitchen area and nice size bathroom. The view is wonderful and the grounds at the front are quite lovely with lots of places to sit and watch the sea and mountains beyond on the mainland. It is accessible to a small beach which in the summer must be a great place to laze around, paddle or swim. The manager was super helpful and friendly. It is a small establishment, which makes it all the nicer because there is a good sense of privacy. Great place.

Nothing.

The small number of suites, private front door entrance for each suite, full kitchen with full size fridge and stove, microwave, dishes/pans/cutlery/cooking utensils, beautiful grounds in the back with direct access to the beach, BBQ and chaise lounges available for use. Pleasant Owner/Property Manager. Even though on the main highway our suite was quiet. Clean suite and comfortable beds. We had a balcony being on the second floor in the back but the front door was ground level - no stairs.

Our stay was too short.

For some who remember 1950's motels, the photos were somewhat reminiscent of those rooms, partly because of the layout and partly because of the bedspreads. If this was a 1950's motel, it has been beautifully renovated. Everything from the paint to the furniture and the bathrooms looks very new. We were to stay 3 nights in one room and 1 night in another. When we arrived, we were told that we could stay in our original room for 2 nights and in the best room for the other 2. Very nice upgrade!

The resort is right on Highway 19A. However, when we are in the rooms, the noise of passing traffic is not a problem, especially after 8:00 PM. Otherwise, the location on the beach is fabulous.

It was great for location; we loved being able to have beach access. It was also great for families as we had a full kitchen, shared access to a BBQ, and laundry. We have 2 teens and we had ample space. The owner/manager was lovely & helpful. We will be booking a return trip next summer.

I can't really think of anything other than it would be nice to be able to have some boogie or skim boards available for teens.

The view was amazing. We sat on the sun deck and looked right out on the ocean and lovely garden. The deck was sunny all day and we ate all our meals there. There is also a shared deck right on the beach that had lovely comfortable lounge chairs.

You could hear people talking through the walls. It was not too bad though. We could also hear traffic noise but when we closed the kitchen door it was nice and quiet. The kitchen is located in the front of the building and we only spent a little in there cooking because the living room/ bed sitting area is so lovely and comfortable. You get the whole ocean view from that room.

The bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom were all very clean and we had a very comfortable stay. All the necessary cooking utensils and dishes were provided, so you can cook your own meals. There was a pub within walking distance, so we eat out. It was right next to the beach, so I was able to relax while listening to the sound of the waves.

Do not be put off by the roadside aspect, as this is an excellent motel. Extra large unit, with beautiful sea views. Well decorated, with all the usual facilties. Comfortable bed, a large sitting area & basic cooking facilities. Outside there is parking for your vehicle & a large seating area to the seaward side. If you don't want to cook there is good pub serving food a 4 mins walk away.

All good

Awesome waterfront location with nice patio sitting areas. Grounds were well maintained. Unit was clean and comfortable with basic kitchen accessories for your cooking needs. Close to other amenities - restaurants, walking trails etc. While close to the highway we didn't find the traffic noise to be a factor.

Parking was a bit tight between spaces and roadway.

I asked for the inn to clean with scent free products and the room was scent free. It was also pet free and smoke free, so I appreciated that very much. Also the kitchen was nicely equipped .Great view of ocean.

The shampoos and soaps were scented but ok as I brought my own. Parking is tight

We were upgraded to a larger room upon arrival, the view, the comfort, the location...could NOT have asked for better!!! It was quite cold out, but walked on the beach and caught the Sunset-the surrounding mountains and water views were nothing short of spectacular..!!!

Can't think of anything that I didn't like...other than the fact that I hadn't booked for a longer stay.
