Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Was a fabulous place to stay at. Loved having the space and the sofas were awesome to relax in and view the sunsets. We enjoyed staying in rather than eating out. Was a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again. Was a 5 minute drive to town so it was easy to get around. ![Beautiful sunset](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da7c0a73-1e56-4753-9e54-51185b42b877-1764622426189.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fantastic view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa87056c-7076-4c92-83c1-096143102920-1764622426751.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from one of the sofas](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f630b8e-e61a-49d4-95fb-0034c7278ee9-1764622426175.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cath O.
