Absolutely wonderful stay! Very nice place with spectacular beach views. Great communication and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Hope to come back someday!
This place was perfect! We watched dolphins and whales from the deck. It was the first time my brothers family saw whales. We had a wonderful peaceful quiet family reunion here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Great condition. Rooms were private, spacious, and each had a private bathroom. Property was in very good condition with fantastic views. Beds were supportive and comfortable. Kitchen is large enough for 3 people. Great location on the Beach-far enough from the standard public access points. Spacious common areas.
