Cozy & peaceful tiny house by the sea!

We had such a wonderful stay at Hamish & Ronene’s tiny house. Such a cozy, peaceful and warm refuge during the wintertime. We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, watching the sunrise from the loft bed (super comfy!) and relaxing on the couch with the sun streaming through the window. The tiny house is in an unreal location - a short walk down to both Sumner and Taylor’s Mistake on beautiful trails. Hamish & Ronene are so lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our Stay

We loved our stay in the little house. Even though compact, the house was well equipped for a short stay, the bed in the loft very comfortable, and the shower was lovely and hot. Hamish is a kind and accommodating host, responsive to any need. We enjoyed our walk along the cliffs, too, and visit to town.

Very nice tiny house

The stay was lovely. The tiny house is in the garden of the owners house, well equipped and clean with a perfect view on the bay area / sunrise. Just bear in mind, that you have to climb up some steps to get into bed.
