What a lovely listing, we were so happy, comfy and cozy. The hot tub was ideal. Fantastic location to take in dreamy Pleasure Point and steps to the ocean. We walked at sunrise, sunset, in between, so easy. The airy deck delivered for coffee and meals. Thoughtfully appointed. Super comfy beds and pillows, we slept great. Bring an eye mask as the downstairs bedroom has some light leaks. I really appreciated that the bed linens and towels are washed on site in fragrance free detergent. Easy check in and easy parking. 100% recommend.
