This house is spectacular! We loved every minute of it here! Upon arrival there were beautiful flowers and chocolates. The house was so clean and homey. We had all the cooking amenities we needed. The views from the garden were spectacular! Watching the sunset there was perfect. You can see the turtles coming in and poking their heads out of the water. Just about half a mile down the road is a quiet beach where the locals go and there are turtles sunbathing on the beach. So awesome! So peaceful at this location. If you are looking to get away from the touristy areas and resorts this place is perfect. You are about 35-45 min from the resort areas. Within walking distance of Paia or a short drive. The food there in this town is amazing! We ate there multiple times. When we traveled to busier areas we were thankful we were able to come back to our house afterwards. We also had access to tons of beach equipment: chairs, towels, boogie boards, and pails and shovels for those with kids. There is also snorkel equipment at the house too. I would highly suggest to anyone to stay at this residence! We LOVED our stay here! Margit and Tony do an amazing job at making sure you have everything you need and you enjoy your stay. Thank you again!
