Guest TestimonialsOur first day here we open the curtains to be greeted by the view of a Great Blue Heron standing among the rocks of your little beach area! For our 20th anniversary what we were looking for was a place that offered quiet an seclusion away from very busy lives! Castaway Ocean Lodge was just the ticket! Quiet relaxing days of no particular schedule made this an anniversary to remember!
Spent a wonderful 5 days at Sai Beach House. Thank you for sharing your amazingly designed house situated in such beautiful surroundings. Clearly a lot of thought and love went into designing and building this place. Also, the sound system is fantastic and helped make our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to return in the future.
We stayed here for the second week of our honeymoon and although the weather wasn't really great we had a lovely time. Francis Louis House will be long remembered fondly. It is a beautiful cottage, both rustic and stylish. The beach also is stunning. We love hearing the waves all day and all night. Thanks.
We're both architects so it was a particular pleasure to stay in a cottage that we had seen published. Bay Bluff Cottage is beautiful! We wish more people were building contemporary cottages and the site is gorgeous!
