This is one of the best, if not THE best, VRBO properties that we have stayed at. Everything was spotless; the description on the website was spot-on; we loved the sounds of the waves, especially at night. And the artistic flair inside the property was wonderful. We give this property more than a 5 star rating. ##### Steven B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter L.

It is chock full of miscellaneous knickknacks, giving it a quirky yet comfortable feel. More importantly it is clean and has everything needed for a pleasant stay, including many provisions.

From the minute we walked through the gate and saw the immaculate view and stone wall, cactuses and stunning little deck we instantly thought "we are never leaving!". Then to go inside and peer around at all the fascinating trinkets and comfy, colourful cushions and bed, functional kitchen and huge bathroom was the icing on the cake. I only wish we had more time. I need about a week there just to embrace the calming, homely vibes this lovely place has in spades. Thank you to Nicki whom I met when checking out a little later than was allowed (shhhh, don't tell Elizabeth). Elizabeth, your home is a true credit to you and I want to thank you so much for letting us stay. It is a very spiritual, healing place and I loved it so much. I'll be in touch about coming to spend a week there by myself when it's next possible. ##### Jo H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023
