Really loved our stay here, the view and the sounds of the waves. We really needed this. Hosts were lovely and accomodating. Only thing was, the listing said it was a 2 bedroom, but it’s a one bedroom and the other beds are in the same room as the kitchen, which made it a bit tricky with a 5 yr old and a 5 month old.

The weather that day was not the best but it improved over night. The Man Cave entertainment shed was a great place to wind down after a long drive. The Rustic guest suite was very comfortable and just as we imagined it to be. The water pressure could be a little better but not a major problem. A phone call from the owner that afternoon made us feel very welcome. ##### Jeff And Karen S. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Catherine C. 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Unfortunately not as advertised Starting with the positives, great location and clean. However not suitable for a family of 4 with tall teens. The place is tiny. The property is attached to the main house, and there is one bedroom, the second room is a kitchen, dining, lounge and has two couches that pull down into beds, that are literally hard to sleep on with rods in the middle. The teens were way too tall for these couches, so ended up sleeping on the floor. There is no seperate bedroom (not 2 bed) with futon beds as the ad stated. There are no real cooking facilities, except a BBQ outside, which means you are bit stuffed if it’s pouring with rain. The bathroom is tiny with no windows and is a thoroughfare to the bedroom. It was not we expected after 10/10 reviews. So here’s an honest one. We left after one night. ##### Catherine C.
