Tranquility just minutes away from good eating and relaxation. The restaurant was yummy with friendly staff. Then to the cottage we go for a relaxed and peaceful time to rest. Decoys is a gem you will be glad you found.

Great spot tucked away on a beautiful marsh inlet, very quiet and private. The bed was so comfortable we had difficulty getting up in the mornings. The showers had great pressure and the towels were big and fluffy. Highly recommend for couples retreat or small groups to decompress. I think the only thing I needed was a dish towel for the coffee station but we did our best not to spill. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

The bungalow was right on the water. It was a beautiful setting. The bungalow was beautiful and the restaurant and bar onsite were great. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as clean as I would have hoped for; the floors were dirty, sliding glass door was dirty, hair on the pillow cases. Since there are only 4 bungalows getting quick service to help with any issues doesn’t happen. They tell you to call the restaurant and ask for the manager but he doesn’t really know how to help/deal with the hotel side.

The most unique feature of the property was the bathroom ☺️ it was so calming and up to date. Also, the property exhibited a very homey and relaxing place to stay. The back view is just what a weekend getaway should include. The back porch facing the water was romantic!!! A nice place for conversation and enjoying time with your loved one.

Perfect Stop

Property was perfect. Emailed instruction made finding the cottages and getting access a breeze. Weather didn’t really cooperate for us to enjoy the outdoor amenities but everything looked really nice. The room was clean and had very comfortable bedding which was nice after being on the road all day. Would recommend to anyone and will be staying again if in the area.

Romance at an Unbeatable Price

the space was fantastic. Very spacious, very comfortable bed and recliner. Patio and patio view were amazing. The bathroom was built for romance, and made up for any short-comings. The short-comings: Forget GPS. You have to follow their directions via email. Which, we didn't know. There is no office. Their communication is very poor and mom-and-pop-ish, yet they are owned by Berkshire-Hathaway and multi-businesses. They really push the restaurants in their "conglomerate" which makes finding help with lodging very troublesome. They want you to communicate with the restaurant manager who has no clue about the lodging. So, we had no internet our entire stay bc the front office located at another location couldn't help, and the restaurant mngr had zero idea. That part was rough, and is why we didn't give them 5-stars. But, we'll stay again bc, for the price, it could not be beat for romance. I'll next door neighbors never left.
