This property was perfect for us. It was an opportunity for four adults to relax, cook together, be together, and take long walks. I love the road that went right in front of the house, and the beautiful walks we were able to take. The house was gorgeous, and the views from the living room are breathtaking.

Family trip

The home was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed! We were disappointed the weather was rainy, foggy, and cool most of our trip, so we didn’t get to enjoy sitting outside and the view. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway!
