How amazing to discover a place like this so close to the city! And literally 10 min to the beach. Perfect for my "staycation"-- with a short drive from home I felt like I was in another world! The vibe is remarkable, a very laid back feeling with people smiling and going about their lives.

The cottage itself was lovely, very artisic with few right angles! The loft bed is in a room with lots of little windows which gave me a delightful waking view of the oak trees and playful wildlife. I loved the rounded rock floor in the living room and stained glass windows.

The Internet connection was actually faster than mine at home. The deep marble bathtub is beautiful. The little kitchen was civilized and great for cooking. The mix of clean design and funky rustic makes for an interesting feel. I left feeling like I had visited 'Lord of The Rings".

They are creating a retreat center here and have built a roofed outdoor studio where in the morning I got to take a Capoeira class...I forgot how much fun handstands are!

I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a truly unique experience.
