The house is beautiful and well maintained, the pool and backyard amenities are great - especially with kids. You can hit the beach in less than 15 minutes and find plenty of shark teeth.

The house and hostess were absolutely top-notch! Ewa greeted us upon arrival and even checked on the pool for us. She was incredibly accommodating and so gracious.And the beds! Simply dreamy β€” after long, full days, the rest was exactly what we needed.We wanted for nothing. With a quick grocery delivery, we were set. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of towels, linens, and extra blankets. We were four adults with pups, and there was more than enough space and seating.The fully fenced backyard was a delight, complete with an above-ground pool and charming swings hanging from a beautiful oak tree. We spent lots of time on the back patio, where there’s a table, chairs, and a grill β€” such a comfortable home away from home.We’d happily stay again!Thank you, Ewa
Night time in the back yard.

Great place - cozy with large outdoor spaces

We were staying for a weekend of shark tooth diving. The location was very central for minimal drive times, and there was more than enough room for the group. Definitely a place to consider for our return visits in the future.
