Spent a wonderful 5 days at the cottage. 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.

This place is absolutely amazing! We arrived just as the sun was setting and we were completely floored.

House is very comfortable and clean. Lots of great beaches and places to explore.

Highly recommend this place and I know I’ll be back again for sure !!

We had a lovely stay with spectacularly clear nights. The was a new moon so you could see the Milky Way and rain horizon to horizon. I haven't seen so many stars in years
