The main house consists of four bedrooms (however there are a total of seven bedrooms and baths on the estate), all with private baths and glass sliding doors overlooking the the glistening sea (two kings, one queen, and one set of twins).

A short walk from the main house is Kari's Cottage. This cottage is high on a hill overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic.
