The quietness was wonderful and the atmosphere was relaxing but you’ll need to bring a dust pan. There wasn’t one provided and you’ll need it to pick up all the sand on the floor that you inevitably bring in. Overall a good stay.

I needed a place to stay overnight and I got a terrific 2 bedroom self contained unit. It had a double bed and two single beds (bunk bed) The whole place was really clean and everything you’d need for four persons in the kitchen. Bed was comfortable and the place was dog friendly. I thought the place was a great place to stay for an overnighter or far a holiday. I liked it that much I’ve booked a two day stay for a few months time.
