From the moment we set foot into the cottage, we felt at home. We appreciated the physical layout, the feng shui, the attention to details such as a comfy mattress, an appealing walk-in shower, items in the fridge. We enjoyed the location in the hills, the cooler weather after baking in the sun at the ocean, and stars at night are spectacular. Estimates of 10-15 minutes to the ocean are accurate. There are many excellent beaches for swimming/snorkeling and I gather boogie boarding during the right time of year. We enjoyed traversing the micro climates and views while ascending and descending to and from the approx. 2000 feet elevation. Lloyd and Loring were extremely hospitable, helpful and generous on any number of levels. The only problem was that eventually we had to leave. But, we did not want to leave -- and would probably still be there if Lloyd and Loring hadn't filed that darn restraining order (joke). We highly recommend this site!
