We had a wonderful time! Very clean, very private, we loved feeding the birds, we loved the welcome dinner, and amazing view!

Secluded, private cottage with breathtaking views ideal for a couple. Catherine welcomed us at the car ferry and showed us the way to the grocery store on the way to the property. She even made our welcome dinner gluten free! The property was charming and fun, with an outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen sink/prep area. Thankfully, the weather was perfect for indoor/outdoor living. We very much appreciated the use of a cooler, snorkel gear, and beach chairs. The cottage was the perfect balance of privacy/seclusion with ease of host's availability for any needs or questions. I hope to return to this magical place someday.

Sitting on the terrace with unobstructed views of ocean with consistent breezes and sounds from the waves, are not beatable! All furnishings and products that were provided were of quality and beauty. Everything you could need is available and more! Catherine is a perfect and thoughtful host, and makes amazing granola for her guests and a wonderful welcoming dinner. If you want great quality, lots of charm, views, quietness and privacy look no further!

The Cottage is a little gem box with a perfect attention to every detail. The design is exquisite with a vaulted, trussed, and clear wood ceiling. It has a gorgeously tiled outdoor shower and kitchen as well as a porch that oversees more than 180 degrees. The view is amazing, the winds gentle, and the quiet absolute. Everything a traveler would need has been provided - basic condiments, pans, and good knives. There's also coffee, juice, granola, and sugar for the birds. Beach needs are met - chairs, coolers, and an umbrella. The bedding and linens are of good quality. There isn't a TV but the Wi-Fi is strong, although not streamable. The welcome dinner was excellent and very, very welcome after a traveling day. One night we were greeted at the door by an enormous hermit crab (there are many other smaller ones lurking!), another night by a knot of frogs (in addition to the shower friends!), a friendly cat one day, and of course, the ubiquitous geckos and sugarbirds. It is absolutely wonderful! Things to know: - the steps to/from the cottage are many and steep. We live in a fifth floor brownstone walk-up and the steps here are a tad more challenging. staying here REQUIRES a car. The car MUST be a 4-wheel drive - an all-wheel jeep just won't cut it . . . - . . . because the last twenty yards to the property is sheer, cratered, and topped with scree. Without the right car, it's nearly impossible to make it to the top. The one mile road leading to the this last obstacle is also a one-lane dirt road - very rutted, cratered, and with two very steep grades. - Skinny Legs, the closest restaurant, is at the bottom of the same last mile. Although close, getting there/back for dinner means either driving the same road, on the side of a cliff, on a moonless night, after a drink or two OR walking the same road when others may have had a drink or two themselves. - We're hikers but we were happy that we self-provisioned and didn't need to leave and return from dinner after dark. However, we felt somewhat isolated at night. It is a lovely cottage in a special place - perfect but for the last twenty yards.
