This may be one of the best kept secrets on Airbnb! Karyn's communication from day 1 was so helpful. Then when, on our arrival day, our electronics decided to abandon us, she was so kind and patient, helping us work through our glitchy devices and incredibly WRONG gps. Eric even drove to the main road to flag us down and drive us in.
We were greeted so warmly by both Karyn and Eric as well as their menagerie of rescue pets. As a fellow rescuer, I was in holiday heaven and felt safe in the hands of kindred spirits immediately. They had laid out fresh hot croissants and a bottle of sparking wine for us on our arrival and gave us a quick tour of the ins and outs of the house before leaving us to relax, which is just what we needed after an exceptionally long day with bickering teenagers and a fussy toddler.
The property itself was perfectly situated for all of us... adults on down. The home has toys available for the wee ones and board games for the older kids and adults. (The outdoor space also provides children's toys and entertainment for all ages.)The living areas are comfortable and spacious. The bedrooms are the same and the mattresses provide an excellent night sleep. There is a hot tub and sauna available upon request, although we didn't have time to avail ourselves of them. When you wake up, the fridge is stocked with fresh eggs, milk, jam, cheese, etc...
And of course then there is THE VIEW. It's just breathtaking. Leave time for a walk to the shoreline. Stay on the path though or as one of our teenagers discovered, you may find yourselves quickly shin-to-knee deep in a bog. :) Adventure!
We are absolutely bookmarking the Sea Shelter and hope to stay here again for a longer period of time on our next journey. This place warrants a bit of extra time... you'll want to stay.
