LONG REVIEW! ;)
Words cannot describe the natural wonder of this place. To call it "magic" does not even do it justice. We had never used the VRBO site before and knew little about it. Donna was incredibly helpful in guiding us and answered all our questions promptly. Samantha had the home ready for us at check -in and set the ambiance for our arrival. This hidden gem truly is surreal. It's perched on a cliffside that overlooks your own private little cove. We watched the birds play in the water, listened to the wind and the waves crash along the rocks. Splashed around in the water along the beach and rested our weary souls sitting upon the large outdoor chair up on the hill that overlooked the water. We often sat with the sliding door open and just rested on the couch, minds wandering and empty of worry. The view from the dining room is amazing! You look straight down into the water. Sunsets looked like something out of a painting - blues and pinks splashed across the horizon. The sailboats in the distance, the stars twinkling down at us. The ocean facing bedroom which we slept in feels like a treehouse with the gnarled Madrone trees right outside the window! I kept expecting to wake up as if from a dream. How could this place be real?! But it is, and so much more than that - this unique cabin by the sea is a HOME while you are there. Not just a flat, soulless motel room. There is a wonderful history to this cabin, one documented in the album you'll find on a shelf. Do take the time to read it. It's amazing what this family has accomplished in building this serene home. There's a lot of love here.
If you're looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and recharge your soul - look no more. We went from planning a busy L.A. vacation...to switching that out for this life changing retreat to soothe our hurts and ease our stress. Warm is both the feeling and the setting of this cabin. And it came at a time much needed for my husband and I, who have had a rough last few years and needed the break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's clean, quaint, and full of a soothing energy and natural light.
This is truly the place to rest your weary hearts and souls and soak in a little piece of mother nature's magic. The world is still a beautiful place. You just have to look around.
So much thanks to Donna & Bob for being the kind of people to share such beauty with the world, and open their historical home to others.
