10/10 Excellent
"We had such a wonderful stay here! The property was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous landscaping and so much to explore. We stayed in the Antique Cabin, which was so cute, comfortable and very clean. We saw tons of hummingbirds while walking around the property, which was such a fun little bonus. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They greeted us when we arrived and made us a wonderful breakfast of biscuits and gravy. I would HIGHLY recommend it, the biscuits were definitely top tier! The area itself was also so peaceful and beautiful. It’s quiet, and every once in a while you can hear sea lions in the distance, which really adds to the whole coastal experience. Overall, we had such a great stay and would absolutely come back again!"
