“The ROBINWOOD cottage is the best !!”

This July was our seventh visit and we rented the Robinwood cottage this time and must say… it is the best. The website pictures do not do it justice.

This July was our seventh visit and we rented the Robinwood cottage this time and must say… it is the best. The website pictures do not do it justice. The inside is bigger and nicer than they show on the website. And to make it even more fun and fancy, we decorated the dock in colorful flowers, pinwheels, and a deck rug… cuz that’s just the colorful fun loving couple we are. Thee best thing about the Robinwood is clearly the two tier deck, all the space you get for whatever you want, and especially the immediate access into the water… which is just above the knee high and sandy. Cannot be beat and really worth the extra coin you pay for this cottage IMO. Also, a small dock access walk way on the south end of the dock allows means you do not have to walk thru the cottage in your wet swim wear if you want to go and pick up your take out food order or grab more towels from the main beach. That is a huge bonus… and it’s just quicker in any event compared to trekking thru the cottage. We’ve done many of the cottages at Sherwood over the years and all wear great… but the Robinwood is now the go-to forever after this summer getaway. But ya better book early. I booked almost 6 months out. And here is a PRO TIP. Always check the cottage you’re renting and see if anyone was in it the day prior. If not… we show up early and ask if we can check in cuz we KNOW the cottage was likely cleaned yesterday or the day prior when the other guests left…. So it’s literally sitting empty and clean which was the case with the Robinwood when we arrived Monday July 14. Maybe it’s cuz the staff knows us… but my wife and I were sitting on the Robinwood dock putting on tanning oil at 10:30am …. As opposed to arriving at the token middle of the afternoon. Staff was happy to check us in… “Yeah nobody is in there and it’s clean. Go ahead. Enjoy.”

Nice Resort with some Significant Issues 1) If you plan to eat at the resort make sure you reserve a table even if it is only at the bar as they might turn you away.

Nice Resort with some Significant Issues 1) If you plan to eat at the resort make sure you reserve a table even if it is only at the bar as they might turn you away. Also expect delays as their priority is their fine dining not someone ordering bar food. Watched as a few people ask where their food was when sitting at the bar for drinks. Also experienced lack of etiquette from manager on a busy Sunday night who couldn't even come and explain why there were tables at the bar area but no staff to serve them. Left it to hostess who is a summer employee. Also they have signs that say no Dogs on beach but if your not a dog lover then stay away as no one ensures this rule is enforced. From a customer who went every year to a customer looking elsewhere.
