John was a great host. Super helpful and communicative. The Surfy Loungy Lodge was the perfect spot for our surf vacation. We just woke up every morning, checked the surf from the balcony, surfed, came back to nap and eat, surfed again, then drove 5 minutes into town to enjoy delicious fresh seafood and tasty beers (Pedra Dura and Mar das Latas). Great TV and sound system too. We highly recommend.
