This place is spot on. Absolutely nothing can be said in the negative of staying here. The hosts. The location. The whole experience of being on this property to view the history of the this lighthouse. The beam at night. The ocean activity in day. A dream. 100% book it. Your experience at St John’s will be forever remembered. Thanks for the memories.
