The house is under the pin. The beach and the point are seven minutes’ walk downhill, which is why “how close everything is” comes up so often.

“Beautiful views, peaceful space. We loved how private it felt, especially the greenery out all the back windows from the shady backyard. The beds were extremely comfy and it was closer and easier to walk to the beach and town than we were expecting.”

The patterns

What guests mention most.

Read enough of them and the same few things come up. These are worth knowing before you book, including the one that isn’t a compliment.

  1. 01

    The view, and the deck

    The most-mentioned thing by far. The deck wraps the house, ocean one side and hinterland the other, and it’s where most people spend their stay.

  2. 02

    How close everything is

    Seven minutes downhill to the beach and the point, a short walk to the bakery, the cafés and the country club. Plenty of guests park the car on arrival and leave it.

  3. 03

    Being able to bring the dog

    Not “pets on request” but a real welcome: bowls, toys and bags already here, and an outdoor shower for sandy paws. It’s how a lot of guests found us.

  4. 04

    The hill

    The one that isn’t a compliment, and it’s fair. The walk down is easy; the walk back is uphill. It’s short, but if anyone in your group finds hills hard, factor it in.
