The Space:

This gorgeous property sits on its own oasis of sunrises, mountain views, and waterfront activities. It is a romantic hideaway from the world with everything you need right here.

It is quiet, clean, well stocked, yet close to activities if you do want to leave this peaceful oasis. This FIRST FLOOR 1 Bedroom cottage is nicely furnished indoors and outdoors. It has ample space to relax and enjoy a getaway with all the comforts and conveniences of home.

The master bedroom has a queen sized bed. The office has a desk and space to work if needed, and a pull out couch. The 2 spacious full bathrooms both have walk in showers. There is a new washer and dryer and plenty of storage!

Perfect For Couples

The ocean view with the lush tall trees was so amazing. It was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge chairs by the water and using the fire pit. The house itself is lovely and well maintained. We were totally happy with our decision to stay there.
