Great place to turn off the world.

It was our first time staying there and it was as shown and described on the listing. Very clean, great wifi, quiet, surrounded by nature with an ocean view and breeze. All the amenities you could need are available. The staff on site were superb. They have a recycling centre which is unheard of at most places. There is a food truck that looked great but we didn’t partake. They even have two (big dog/small dog) off leash fenced areas to let the doggos roam. The owner (Marc) was always informative and available through the VRBO site. Hate to review this gem that we would like to keep a secret. All in all we will return. Thanks
