We LOVED the Old School House! It was so nice to have the binder with the background of the school. Everything worked perfectly and it was wonderful to have a restaurant so close to the property! Thank you, it was awesome!

The school house is absolutely perfect, was visiting with my mom and all my sisters and we stayed at the tail end of a long trip and it was so peaceful and serene. The host was so accommodating and kind, and the area was incredibly beautiful for walks to the beach. Felt like a kid again 💗 highly recommended!

The location was initially hard to locate as it is listed incorrectly in Google Maps, however the host was super helpful and met us at a local establishment and then escorted us to the house. We absolutely loved the schoolhouse and would return in a heartbeat.
