Cozy cabin, comfy bed, right on the water- the window down to the ocean is awesome for watching critters swimming around. Organizing rides to/from the houseboat was easy and efficient. Host was friendly and ensured I had everything need to be comfortable. Perfect spot to get away!

It was an amazing accommodation. Right on the ocean. We had a wonderful night. The host was amazing and lives close by which was comforting, not that it was necessary. Pick up and drop off went smoothly. The time there was serene!

Sweet, cozy stay

Pearl and Joel were lovely hosts and helped to provide an enjoyable stay. They were very accommodating and helpful. The only concerns we had were the different contacts and some of the processes weren’t fully communicated. Overall, it was a memorable stay and we would love to visit again!

Unique Rustic Experience

It is a little different to have a shuttle boat to ferry you back and forth but Pearl was always quick to respond. It is a rustic spot but very comfortable and cozy. We especially loved the port to watch the sea life. Thank you.

Fun location, friendly people

We had a two night stay. No complaints. We were a little worried that needing a ride back and forth would be annoying but the hosts were very responsive when we needed a ride. The views are as good as you can get. The window in the floor to view ocean life is a great touch.
