Cozy and quiet
The place is pretty nice and comfortable, the host is friendly and nice. House is a little bit too far from local attractions. But thankfully, the owner offered us a ride to the bus stop on our last day.

10/10, great guest house and owner
Amazing guest house! The owner is so kind and made us feel at home straight away. He took us to the supermarket and for food on our first day as well as taking us to the bus terminal at the end of our trip. It’s a legit 1 minute walk from a beach and a 10 minute walk from THE most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Would recommend to anyone. Great value for money and the location is great. Wish we had stayed longer.

・海が徒歩1分以内 ・夜は海沿いで光も少ないため、星も綺麗に見えました。 ・当日のお昼頃にSAPの急な予約をしても夕方のツアーに参加させていただけた柔軟性 wifi、冷房、お風呂、キッチン使用可能なども言うことなしです。 ・徒歩15分、車で5分程の距離にスーパー、ドラッグストア、コンビニがあり小さめのレストランもちらほらありました。 ・人との交流や一人旅には言うことなしのコスパの良さだと思います。 また沖縄に一人旅するときはお世話になりたいゲストハウスでした(^^)
