The Temple Treehouse is the peaceful respite we were looking for. We enjoyed being tucked away in the trees, listening to the waves and the birds. We loved the open-air environment. The screens provided plenty of protection from the few bugs we encountered, and there is natural bug repellent available if necessary. The steps leading up to the treehouse were an adventure for us and we found the treehouse well worth the climb. But be prepared; it's a lot of steps and they are irregular and sometimes steep. The beach is close, but more walking downhill and then the return trip is uphill before you even reach the treehouse steps. We had a rental car, which I would recommend for the area. There are plenty of food options nearby and the North Shore has a lot to offer. The hosts were accommodating and available but not intrusive. We also appreciated the use of the beach gear, the local recommendations and the yoga class.
