Great experience at Idelhour. Snug little cottage located in beautiful and quiet area. Highly recommend going to see the sunset at nearby Mullet Beach. Host was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to any question.

Cozy and Comfortable

It is a perfect location! It’s in a lovely neighborhood with a perfect path to go on a morning walk. The living area greets you with beautiful and thoughtful decor, like an amazing selection of books to browse while you stay there. We also appreciated the Nespresso and awesome bath products. It is as pictured and described. Will book again.
