The location was very remote but everything we needed to relax. I loved the location and the view of the ocean. They had a restaurant on the first floor which was good. If you need a getaway this is it! Bring your book and a blanket to enjoy the ocean. It’s dog friendly too!

Best 1 night stay ever. Jacuzzi was perfect for 2. Views are incredible. Town is very quiet and nice. Definitely make sure you have your breaks checked before you drive there though. It’s almost all downhill and curvy. Breaks smelled like they were ready to burst into flames when we arrived lol.
