Fodor's Expert Review Dickenson Bay Cottages

Lush landscaping snakes around the two-story buildings and pool at this small hillside complex, which offers excellent value for families. The handsomely appointed duplex accommodations feature most of the comforts of home, though the floral decor is unoriginal and there are only distant views of the sea (from suites 7A, 7B, 8A and 8B); all other units have garden views. One-bedrooms ( 11, 5, and 6) have been upgraded with standing showers. Though there's little to do on premises, recreational options abound in the area. Children under 12 stay free and additional guests are a small fee. This agreeable enclave is often inexplicably empty, so ask about last-minute reductions and check for specials on the website.
