Staying at the house was wonderful. The house and the views are truly amazing. We felt privileged to have the chance to stay there. The house is better than the pictures. It is big and impressive. The architecture is spectacular. Also it is a home, not just a house, with lots of loving touches. We wished we had stayed much longer. On a practical note, you definitely need a car. There are several small restaurants and coffee shops at about 10-15 min drive. It is a place for relaxing and taking short hikes/walks. Some trails are very well maintained and the forest resembles a rain forest. There is also a winery on the island with decent wines. Thank you to the owners for sharing their home.
