Stunning view & great bed

Wonderful! Kind and responsive hosts. Surrounded by gorgeousness. And they helped set me up to cook my own food… like many other places it was an adventure cooking and washing dishes outside under the roof overhang. It worked out beautifully.

Awesome spot for unwinding

The sun-soaked deck overlooking the ocean was just what the doctor ordered. Such a perfect little place for some downtime. Well equipped, super comfortable, lovely hot shower and the bath under the stars was the icing on the cake. Loved it!
