The pictures on the site show idyllic beach living...when you walk through the front door, you begin living the idyllic beach life. An absolutely amazing stay for us. The beach is rather private, so you don't have to worry about jumping on a surfboard for the first time and pissing off the seasoned surfers. It is so relaxing to grab a cup of coffee and a book (substitute wine for evening hours) then sit on the ever so lovely deck, enjoy the crashing waves. Eric is a great host (and his dogs are equally great co-hosts!). Truly a great experience! I almost forgot to mention how great Eric was when it came to booking...he really went out of his way to work with us and for that, I am forever grateful.
