just perfect

We had a wonderful time at this property, enjoying the pool and gorgeous setting. The host is fantastic to work with and accommodating in all respects; the little cottage included all the little things you need to prepare meals, which almost never happens. We stayed as a small group (two adults, one child) and the little space worked well for us. Bonus points for proximity to a great winery (Pentage) and the best beach. We'll be back-- thank you!

Unique, fun place to stay.

Very nice clean place and fun to wake up to horses and deer in the yard. Not having a kitchen sink or a stove was a bit of an issue but we managed to work around it. Really nice, helpful people to deal with during our stay.
