We appreciate you taking the time to review us, It has been unseasonably cold out here recently, so it's a good idea to bundle up for cold nights and if there's anything we can do to please let us know! The Tool Room is in the oldest part of the hostel and sits right on the bluff overlooking the ocean, definitely a heating challenge. Thank you for the feedback

Amazing Views!

I've traveled the world but this place holds a special magic. Amazing views and scenery. Transportation to other areas can be tricky but buses and Lyft made it easier. Unique place to stay.
