This place was a dream. Beautiful ocean views with access to the beach and tranquil forest. The spa was perfect on the rainy days we were there. The decor of the house was relaxing (such a nice beach getaway) and everything was so organized and clean! Unfortunately we had a power outage during one of our nights and had to use all the candles (sorry!) But other than that natural power outage (the entire area), this little resort was phenomenal. Highly recommend if you want to get away from the city and just be in with nature! We definitely would love to come back in Summer and enjoy more of the nature.

I was looking for a quiet weekend away on the beach, to relax and enjoy a much needed break from work. This lovely cottage is exactly as shown in the pictures. Beautifully decorated, a fully equipped kitxhen with top of the line appliances, a very comfortable bed and a view that cannot be beat. Additionally the sauna while has not only appreciated after a long day of exploring but also provides an equality stunning view. I was extremely fortunate that not only did I have 4 days of sunshine, I also was there for the herring spawning. I was privileged to watch rafts of sea lions, convication of eagles, solitary herons and 1000s of herring gulls. The walks on the beach where not only amazing for the view but the abundance of wildlife. Highly recommended for adults.

We had an amazing time. The house is even prettier than the pictures online. The view is breathtaking. It was close to activities we wanted to do such as hiking and wildlife tours. Great grocery store in town. Great restaurants along the shore in both directions. Would recommend a stay here.
