My family really enjoyed staying here and the host was very accommodating. The property is close to a few beaches and not a far drive to see the National Park. The house had plenty of privacy, the neighbors were quiet, and it had everything we needed.

Incredible home in a great spot. Big, beautiful, fully stocked kitchen and bbq setup. Three bedrooms, with a spacious common area. Outdoor fire pit. Lots of board games, outdoor activities like bocce ball, volleyball, etc. and a fire pit. Very quiet at night, under an astonishing star-y night sky. Also, loved the layout of the home, will keep it in mind if I opt to build one :)

Chalet extrêmement propre ayapatgaig

Nous sommes un famille de deux adultes et deux enfants. Nous avons adoré le chalet. Il était extrêmement propre. Je loue régulièrement des chalets et ce dernier était le plus propre que nous avons loué. Il y avait tout le nécessaire pour la cuisine et même plus (en très bon état également). Il y avait des jouets pour les enfants et du matériel pour la plage (parasol, chaises).
