So much love has went into this place. Everything is available for what your heart desires. The owners have covered everything. It’s away from everything but close to anything you want to do. We had a visit from some dolphins, a family of raccoons many birds and plenty of fish. You can sit at the edge of the beach and watch the hermit crabs. At night a fire and relax after a busy day of doing nothing or visiting the hustle and bustle of the city near by.
