The house, while a mile or so south of the village, was well situated on a sandy stretch of shoreline and very comfortable. Mirko was very thorough upon our check-in and the house met all our needs. We enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch or laying in the hammock there, whiling away our days when not touring the area. As long as one has a car or arranges tours, Hopkins is a great base to see nearby sites.
