Goodness, I don’t even know where to begin! The yurt was an absolute dream; as if it’s location wasn’t already perfect, this little space happened to be a little slice of paradise.
Cassie and Jamie were such sweethearts on top of being the best hosts! They immediately made my boyfriend and I feel right at home and were always prompt to answer any questions that we had. Not to mention they’re kind of the raddest humans ever.
The yurt sits behind a gated entry in a neighborhood that’s adjacent to the beach; there’s parking provided, however, they have bikes to use and there are bus routes available so having a car isn’t necessary. This area is generally buzzing with activity (for good reason!), but the surrounding tropical plants make it easy to forget that you’re not somewhere far more rural and it’s fairly quiet once the sun goes down. Speaking of which, the yurt is aptly named. Take my advice and watch the sunset from the beach that’s just around the corner; it is absolutely breathtaking!
If you’ve ever stayed in a yurt, you know that they get warm. The ocean breeze through the windows and the fan are a huge help, but far better is getting outside and exploring all of the amazing things within arm’s length! My boyfriend and I spent our days surfing up the road, fishing crystal clear waters, hiking along the lush coast, watching native wildlife, etc. before rinsing off in the yurt’s beautiful outdoor shower and watching the stars out of the dome above the bed...ahh, take me back!
There is a microwave, fridge and the basics in the yurt. I’d recommend keeping food sealed/put away and eating outside if you can as crumbs attract bugs every now and then (duh, it’s a yurt!), OR going up the road for the amazing food trucks (ALL of the ones we went to were AMAZING).
I am so very grateful for the time that I spent here and so happy that Cassie and Jamie are sharing such a wonderful space with others. I can’t recommend staying here enough!
