    This place is perfect for an extended weekend or family vacation. The bed was comfy anc the kitchen was handy for dining in. It's a short walk to the beach. I do suggest renting everything you can in advance rather than hauling your own.

    If you’re looking for a charming, unique, hidden hideaway this is it! We tried to stay another night we loved it so much but it’s a very popular location. Felt like we were on a private island! The perimeter is lined with tall Bamboo blocking out the rest of town. It’s absolutely beautiful the plants and time taken to make this place so special.
