It was so comfortable and great to be so close to nature without all of the distraction of commercial activity. Perched perfectly above the ocean in a pristine landscape with great rocking chairs and warm fir pits!!

Beautiful property! Breakfast was just enough to get you up and going. The balcony rooms have an amazing, relaxing view. Pool was heated and open until 10pm, plenty of loungers around the property. My only gripe is wishing there were more fire pits around, we only saw one. Rooms were clean and bright. We did not have any issues during our stay.
