About this property

Sailors Rest: Pool & Sauna, Tropical Island Oasis, Fireplace

Enter the gates of Sailors Rest, immerse yourself in the lush palm-filled scenery, discover hidden gardens and unwind by the pool.

The Space:

Two queen-sized beds, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, streaming entertainment, coffee machine, high-speed business internet, and if needed, a work station.

Amenities:

Take a dip in our *heated pool, relax in the infrared sauna, enjoy a cold drink on the patios or grill out, cozy up with s’mores by the outdoor fireplace, all while surrounded by lush gardens and the beauty of nature.

Farm-fresh eggs daily from our chickens are generally available (unless the hens are molting, which they do on occasion).

See info about kids amenities below.

A note about well water & heated pool expectations:

Our water comes from a well and is treated with an advanced Evolve water purification system. It's clean, safe for drinking, showering, and daily use, and free from typical well water odors as much as possible. We regularly test it to ensure its quality.

However, if you're very sensitive to well water or find its hardness bothersome, this may not be the right place for you. For pure drinking and cooking water, there is a separate faucet with reverse osmosis filtration.

*Pool Policy: The pool heater functions efficiently only when nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F. Heating is generally available from mid-April through September; however, pool heat cannot be guaranteed during periods of unusually cold weather.*

Guest Access & Hosts on Premises:

You would be the only guests on the property. As a separate dwelling space on the first floor, the apartment has its own private entrance and key. The property is self-check-in, hosts are available and live on-premises, and are happy to help you with anything you need during your stay.

Amenities for Families:

Children enjoy the property, complete with an outdoor baby/toddler swing, plenty of toys, a baby countertop bathtub, kid's books, and a Pack n-Play. Little ones will have a blast feeding the chickens and koi fish and swimming in the pool.
