I had a great time at Temple Treehouse. My last night it rained, which was cool, and in the middle of the night the rain stopped and the moon came out, shinning brightly on the ocean surf below. It was magical. The steps are real, but I did not find them slippery and you have some nice, strategic railings. The sound of waves breaking was wonderful. And, Mike the manager was so nice, so responsive and helpful! I was in good hands.
