Very clean and well decorated. Owner works very hard to provide a nice place to stay. However, the way the property is portrayed on the web site, we expected an ocean fronting unit with access to the shore from the door of the unit. That is not accurate. It is down the driveway, across the main road of the island and 7 - 10 min walk (for us) to a rocky (but very nice) beach. The owner has done a nice job with the unit, small hot tub in small private deck and the sauna across the street and down the hill to the beach. However, from the pictures it led both my wife and I to believe we could bring our inflatable kayak and launch from our unit. Not so! The island itself is worth seeing and exploring. It is mostly gravel roads but the quiet and tranquil nooks and crannies makes it a good visit.

Dan, it is certainly not our intention to give the wrong impression; so, a fancy new home page banner will soon give the complete picture*. I will also update the platforms, like this one, wherever it will clarify the situation. But to put the record straight, the walk to the beach is only 2 minutes’ or less for most folks, (maybe 3 coming back because it's uphill), the "main road" is single lane, quiet and empty most of the time, and our private beaches with a Scandinavian sauna, fire pit, kayak and canoe for our guests’ enjoyment, are in fact sandy, because we trucked tons of it in (from the other side of the island); unlike the adjacent “very nice” rocky shore. *There is so much in the way of photos (including aerial) and information to make the situation clear already, that this is only the second time we have received this complaint. However, that is 2 too many, so as well as the new home page banner (coming soon) I have made several changes to the text and presentation to help clarify the situation and we will continue to strive to be open and honest with the content. What we have created here is, in most (virtually all) guests' opinions, unique and wonderful, and is giving them such great experiences; I'm sorry that you were uninterested in or unable to take advantage of those amenities.

10/10 Excellent

Great accomodations!
Manna House is well kept and very clean. Everything we required for cooking was supplied. The electric bbq was awesome and the bed so comfy. It was lovely sitting by the firepit on the ocean. Thank you Mark!
