The property was private, cozy, and absolutely beautiful—with tons of natural light that made it feel so warm and welcoming. The location was perfect too: peaceful and secluded, but just a short drive to local shops and great restaurants. There were ponies, which added such a charming touch to the whole experience. Elaine was a fantastic host—super responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.

We totally enjoyed our stay ! A lovely setting - private and peaceful with a short walk to Diamond bay beach! We loved the outdoor shower and balcony setting!
