Guests have privacy and access to an exclusive dock and exercise/media room with a small infrared sauna (shared space). Fenced trails within the property and plenty of room to relax and enjoy nature, including the eagle's nest right above the cottage. E-bikes, kayaks and paddleboards available for rent in town. Sorry, no kids under 13. The space The Nest is a cozy and relaxing place where you can enjoy nature and stunning views from sunrise to sunset, just steps from the ocean. Our Orchard offers apples, pears and cherries for the picking (in season), and you may also enjoy our organic herbs and vegetable gardens. Located by the sea, Valhalla offers private trails and the ideal setting for water sports, with rental (delivery) options in town. Guest access You may explore the whole estate, except the main house, the Loft (separate cottage) and the caretaker's house. Other things to note Please note that we share our home with our guests, and that we are a small and familial operation, without staff or full-time services. We are only happy if our guests are having the best time, so we try hard to have their expectations met within our capacity. If you have an Electric Vehicle, there are several charging stations around the island. We do not have EV charging capacity on the property. We use regular cleaning products. If you have any sensitivity to detergents such as Tide/Persil/Downy or Greenworks, Clorox, Pledge, etc., please advise us at the time of your booking so we can accommodate your special cleaning request. Although we love to see our guests have fun, we ask you to respect other guests' and our private spaces. Valhalla is a place to relax, meditate and contemplate nature and we appreciate quietude. Please be mindful that the Nest is located in a wooded area, and it is usual to find pollen, pine needles, small animals like little frogs, spiders and harmless critters. Despite our best efforts to clean the cobwebs, you may find a few as they are formed every day. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 5 steps to reach entrance - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift (single-level property) - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Property does not allow children - Recycling ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Gather used towels Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks Turn off the lights Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
