The only improvement I feel could be made would be the inclusion of basic amenities ie tea/coffee/drinking water in the kitchen 3 Richard was very attentive and the tiny house was well kept :) ##### Masturah M.

Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabrielle S. 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely quiet getaway We had a lovely stay here. This place was perfect for my 20 month old and I. Beautiful and quiet. No fuss for check in and the Tiny House was so minimal, great for kids who love to touch everything and want to be outdoors. We walked around the property and loved seeing the cows. Only 5 minutes to the beach which is perfect. Would love to come back in warmer weather. Community was friendly and the cafe food was delicious! One thing that would be helpful here is a little washing line between the trees as there is little space to hang wet things inside. ##### Gabrielle S.
