“Location, location, location! What a stunning spot with such a gorgeous view of the ocean and rocks. There were five different seating areas and all but one had great views. The kitchen was top of the line and very well-equipped. The beds were very comfy. It was a lovely spot and I wish we had a few more days (or weeks) there.” - Katherine
