I booked a two-night stay for my hubby's birthday. My mother-in-law, my husband, our 4 years old boy and myself all had a wonderful time. This place is spotlessly clean (I am allergic to dust. No sneezes this time!), the bed/pillows are super comfortable, the shack is full of details and soul. Although it rained none-stop the second day we stayed, we were happy to enjoy the place inside.
Tips for future travellers,
- Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. While the wave's sound is nice and claiming, it could get quite loud in heavy rains/storming weather. You will be sleeping right next to the water, especially in the second bedroom downstairs.
- This place might not suit 1) younger children who are restless 2) people with knee problem/struggle to walk up and down the hills. It's a bit challenging to get to the place. My mother in law who's 65 years old, struggled a bit but managed to get there and enjoyed the place! We are lucky that our boy follows the rule very well when we told him where not to go (danger) and what not to touch. There are lots of nice and vintage stuff in the house, which restless children can easily damage.
Also sort your food out before you go (we did so we carried a fair bit of stuff, thanks to my husband!). You can take the ferry back to Palm beach to have food, but it takes 15 minutes +30 minutes to come back to the place, which takes time away from staying at such a nice place. We can see the boathouse across the sea. Not sure if a water taxi can get you there and back for food (that might be nice). We had everything so didn't need to go anywhere.
