Guest Review Highlight

A guest named Don shared in January 2023:
"If you prefer cocktails by a manicured lawn, this isn’t the place. But if you enjoy morning swims in the ocean and picking up fresh seafood directly from the fishermen while walking past wild donkeys on a gravel road back to the house, this is perfect."
