The house looked amazing in photos, but within 10 minutes of walking in every single person in our group was saying we should have booked it for longer. Beyond design, every room has so many interesting things in it from around the world or a rich collection of books across various topics, or both! We used the rooftop deck to do a morning yoga session, made a bonfire in the backyard in the evening, got great use of the large dining room table for each of our meals, and spent time after dinner looking at the stars on the roof (several shooting stars from current meteor shower).
Things we wish we knew/remembered:
1. The path to actually get to the beach is longer than you think (or than it looks like on the map), just keep that in mind for planning your day and what you carry if you're walking.
2. This was definitely covered in the welcome guide, but we forgot that it was covered in there and had trouble finding the light switched in the kitchen. The first night we just cooked and ate by candlelight - which ended up being wonderful haha.
3. If you are a reader, stay longer so you can actually enjoy the books there! There is something for everyone to read.
4. The fridge really is European style, which means this is not the type of place where you do a big Costco haul before checking in. Be mindful about what you are bringing that requires refrigeration/freezing.
We would all 100% stay here again! Thanks!
