An absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean. The tide goes out and we walked on the beach with the most amazing clouds and colors. The house was spotless and the host very responsive. The location is way more beautiful and striking than the pics show. If you want a home that is off the beaten path and surrounded by great beauty this is for you.

Such a stunning location, jaw dropping beauty. And the property was very well laid out, spacious and clean! Truly amazing. The pics don’t do it justice. Be warned, drive slow on the road to Gilead House. It’s a single lane, bumpy hilly road. All the drivers we met were cautious and courteous though.
