Positive: Kirsten is the most lovely host you can meet! We got an amazing romantic welcome for our honeymoon but also had the most thoughtful care during our stay. If clothes are in need of a little ironing it’s handled super fast. It’s the best stay you could book! The rooms are decorated with care and the ocean view is lovely!
Negative: The road next to home stay is quite loud so if you are sensitive to loud noises bring earplugs. Also breakfast is in a local place nearby but requires a little walk. The breakfast is amazing so it’s worth the little walk :)
Summary: Super host, amazing view, near the beach!
