Hidden Gem!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This "tiny" home offered plenty and then some! The indoor space was pristine and cozy, complemented by a beautiful and spacious outdoor retreat. We also appreciated the decor with thoughtful pieces spread throughout the property. To top it off, the owners (Marianne & Doug) were friendly, responsive, and easy-going. Without a doubt, would stay here again!

Tiny little house is the most relaxing stay you could ever imagine.
The property is in pristine condition. Your stay will be very peaceful and private. Moonlight Beach is walking distance. Restaurants and coffee shops are within walking distance. The hosts are the mostest. You will not find more kinder and gentler people. We highly recommend this place to stay.

Perfect Little House!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. We especially enjoyed the outdoor dining area and fire pit with comfortable rocking lounge chairs. We even tried a few puts on the putting green! the property was immaculate and they thought of everything. Even the ironing board and iron were conveniently stored behind the bathroom mirror. Great lighting all around the paths and property so it was easy to spend a lot of time outdoors. Bed was very comfortable, great and plentiful towels and the location cant be beat! Check out Moonlight beach (the host provides beach towels, cooler, chairs and umbrella)!
