An absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean. The tide goes out and we walked on the beach with the most amazing clouds and colors. The house was spotless and the host very responsive. The location is way more beautiful and striking than the pics show. If you want a home that is off the beaten path and surrounded by great beauty this is for you.

This is an amazing place to stay! Beautiful , spacious house, off the beaten path, on the beach, perfect for our group of 5 adults. Great kitchen with enough pots and pans for cooking and eating and storing food. Lovely rooms. pretty outdoor space to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Beautiful sunsets. Loved sleeping to the sounds of waves rolling in and sheep calling out in the distance. Perfection! Long one lane drive off the main road.
Such a stunning location, jaw dropping beauty. And the property was very well laid out, spacious and clean! Truly amazing. The pics don’t do it justice.
Be warned, drive slow on the road to Gilead House. It’s a single lane, bumpy hilly road. All the drivers we met were cautious and courteous though.
