Wow! Gorgeous! We loved it all. Fabulous location above a stunning beach. Amazing kitchen with huge work space and views of the ocean. Beds super comfy. The greatest part was the WHALES!! Last morning there were several whales breaching and putting on a show for us. And seals fishing just a few meters from the beach! Truly unbelievable. Thank you for your hospitality!!!

Paradise!

No photo can capture the spectacular views that surround this cottage. It was hard to tear ourselves away from the heated outdoor fire pit and comfortable couch. Extremely private and quiet. Our little dog was in heaven too! We will be back!

The deck is outstanding! The living space is tidy and inviting, and the view cannot be beat! The new kitchen is modern and makes entertaining a breeze.
