Sublime time

My family (6 of us) had a wonderful time staying at The Stonehouse. Hospitality was oozing from the moment we arrived with the beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, graciously equipped kitchen and bathrooms to the comfort of each bed. All the mechanics of the house worked smoothly and amenities like beach towels and excellent communication about the house and the community was left by the owner for us to reference. A real vacation, a true delight, for us all!

Incredible House. Incredible Hosts

It is a great house with even better hosts. So relaxing to sit out on the back porch with a glass of wine and listen to the waves crash. So relaxing for those who are always on the go. Incredible house + incredible town. Life long memories!

100% great in every way!

Stayed here for a week for a girls trip! We had plans everyday to do things, but in the end, spent many hours at the house - didn't want to leave. The house was perfect in everyway - it was comfortable and scenic. We enjoyed the kitchen area and use every room in the house to its fullest. Being able to see sunrise and sunset from the house was a bonus! And not to mention, the owners are very helpful and very welcoming.
