The TeePees received several positive reviews from guests:

"Our stay at the tee pees at Beachcomber was an amazing trip! Beachcomber accommodated coronavirus precautions well and made sure everyone felt safe and healthy. The location was great. We visited a winery just down the road in walking distance. Our neighbors were pleasant and friendly. The tee pees were the perfect medium between tent camping and renting a cabin. There was heat, a small fridge for food and a designated area for a fire pit that we used every night. We will definitely be coming back next autumn!"
"My family loved staying in the teepee. It was more spacious than we expected and a unique experience. We got to go camping without purchasing all the extra gear (i.e. tents and sleeping bags). Close proximity to Wildwoods beach as well."
