Absolutely Awesome Beach front retreat is just that…….. absolutely awesome. Just the place for a little weekend getaway with friends or just for 2. The view is stunning & a very short walk to the beach. Very relaxing listening to the waves in the evening. Loved the hot tub too. Very clean & tidy. Wished we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend this special place.

We did not use the spa pool, but the cabin was clean and warm. The location was private, quiet, on a farm, above a fabulous beach. We were very sad to leave and could well spend 5 days there. Everything we look for with a cabin.

Great place to stay. It was tight as we were 7 adults and it was very rainy so weren't able to utilize the outdoor space as much as we would have liked but was still a great time.
