    It was a treehouse and very relaxing, earth centered, grounding, loved it! Single mom who stayed with her 2 kids, ages 11 and 16. You do need to rent a four wheel drive vehicle if you want to get around the area.... even to the grocery store..... Miles of beautiful beach to walk, a short walking distance from the treehouse!…
