Quiet and serene

This is a beautiful location it's quiet and serene. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and having breakfast on the patio enjoying the beautiful view of the trees and surrounding nature. The accommodation had everything we needed and more, it was very clean. Kathy was very quick to respond to any questions we had and created a wonderful experience for us! We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back if we wanna stay in the area again!

Bright and Beautiful

Kathy, the host, is like a helpful ray of sunshine. The home is beautifully decorated, super clean, and a short walk from the shore. The kitchen is well appointed with equipment to cook well. The bed was comfortable. High ceilings and many windows make the space very bright. Would be a good winter get away!

About the host

Hosted by Gary or Kathy

Newly retired, we are excited to share our seaside carriage home and have endeavored to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. As we live next door, on the other end of our 1.6 acre ocean front property, we will be available if needed, in person, or by phone, but will also fully respect your privacy.

Why they chose this property

Kingscote, the original founder of this area, apparently chose this particular property to settle on. Situated between old-growth trees, and the ocean, it provides a beautiful, serene setting to unwind. There are no street lights so it is a great place to star gaze on clear nights. It is also home to a variety of birds and other wildlife, and we regularly hear the call of the resident barred owl in the quiet of the evening.
