Absolutely Awesome Beach front retreat is just that…….. absolutely awesome. Just the place for a little weekend getaway with friends or just for 2. The view is stunning & a very short walk to the beach. Very relaxing listening to the waves in the evening. Loved the hot tub too. Very clean & tidy. Wished we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend this special place.

We loved our stay at this beautiful bach! It’s a cute two-cabin setup that felt very private and cozy. Having the hot tub and direct beach access was a dream, and the area is just stunning. We really appreciated all the 'little extras' like the beach chairs, shelter, and laundry amenities; they made our stay so much easier. The kitchen was great, and we loved having the BBQ to use. The only minor thing to note is that a slightly larger fridge would have been great, especially if staying longer, but it didn't bother us for our three nights and thinking eco-friendly/solar, etc! Being in a rural spot near the dunes, you should expect some bugs, but that’s just part of the coastal experience. The host provided bus spray and repellent, so no worries! We loved it to pieces and are already trying to find excuses to come back! We can't wait. Thank you for being amazing hosts and welcoming us to your space.

We did not use the spa pool, but the cabin was clean and warm. The location was private, quiet, on a farm, above a fabulous beach. We were very sad to leave and could well spend 5 days there. Everything we look for with a cabin.
