We thought Gumpy by the Sea was a perfect retreat for a couple, as described and with bonus welcoming touches from Vicky. We enjoyed the close proximity to the ocean; walking along the beach at sunset was lovely. We leisurely made our own breakfasts out on the stove with supplies from the well-provisioned kitchen. We took day-trips driving around the region, wandering on walks and stopping to explore eats and drinks. And we slept comfortably with wind and ocean as a soundtrack. We would recommend checking out the Low Head foghorn if you’re around on a Sunday at noon. Vicky was easy to communicate with and a great host.
