Amazing Location
Plenty of room inside and out. Felt like we were on our own private island. Some basic maintenance needed on windows and doors.

Ideal setting
We really enjoyed our stay! The setting is breathtaking. We enjoyed getting to walk out on the Rocky Beach, sit by the fire and roast s’mores, enjoy being together. The house is so close to Schooner overlook and anemone cave. We could not have been more pleased with the location. As mentioned, the inside of the house is a bit dated, but it is spacious and had room for all of us to sleep. I would suggestsheets for the pullout sofa easier to locate, and possibly providing more bath towels. Although, we also said we would come back to this property again.

Perfect for a large family
Unfortunately we had rainy foggy weather for our stay. Views were great, but I’m sure spectacular on a clear day.
