Also some items not clean but had everything that was needed. A suggestion regarding having to bring own linen bath mats and towels can be a problem if visiting from another country as you dont have this available. We had a peaceful stay. Lots of firewood provided and night view of the stars is something that cannot be described. ##### Werner G.

It is a bit dated, but still has everything you need. Excellent Bach if you want a technology detox as there is no internet or cell service. It is a bit hard to find if you have never been to ocean beach, so I recommend getting detailed directions from the Bach manager (it's over a bridge that says "no public access"). Would definitely stay here again. ##### Jacqui S.

Great little bach directly at the beach. Effective wood burner for the cool nights and so many comfortable outdoor seats to choose from. More spacious than we expected and the "rooms" are separated enough that kids can sleep while others are still awake. Very quiet location and we all loved the quirky design of the house. ##### Wiebke H.
