The cabin was very clean and was in a perfect location. Bryan was extremely friendly and checked in multiple times to make sure we were settled and always communicated he was easily accessible if needed. We had a wonderful time and we hope to visit again soon!

This was the best vacation I've had in years, I wish I could rate this property with ten stars. Clean, quiet, walking distance from trails and beaches, close to town, relaxed setting. I wish I could have stayed longer. The decor was welcoming and made it easy to relax, coming back each day felt like coming home.

Amazing communication. Accommodations were top notch. Great decor,facilities and location. Highly recommend
We had never stayed in a tiny house before, and this was a wonderful experience. The photos do not do justice to how truly private and quiet the property is -- even with neighbors on both sides. Interior decorations and bathroom design is beautiful. The short gravel road is well maintained and not a concern at all. Truly a unique and wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Beautiful location and really nice inside. Super clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable. We were able to walk to the beach and to the light house trail. Definitely recommend this property.
