This Place is amazing. We loved it here. The beach is just a short walk. The Batch is warm, clean, and comfortable. The view of the rock face/hill behind you is mesmerizing. I am a huge fan of the Monarch Butterfly and the garden is full of them.

Lovely homely batch kept us nice and dry and warm during some horrible weather. Everything we needed and we enjoyed having a very easy to use fireplace! Lorraine was very quick to reply to any questions I had. Would love to go back when the weather is better to enjoy the beach.
