Awesome wee cottage with huge views. Had everything we needed and lots of privacy tucked down a lovely tree lined long driveway. Great communication with owner. Great base to explore the local markets, beaches and trails. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely serene
Loved our Stay hereDoes need signs to find the place though but other than its absolute bliss would definitely go back there again .Didnt quite get to meet the owners but spoke from afar
Great views even if obscured by the weather. Some more signs to exact location would have helped us to find the unit easier.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
