While the space is compact, it’s carefully designed to have everything you need for a restful stay near the ocean. The suite is not oceanfront, but Terrace Beach and the Wild Pacific Trail are only a few steps from the door.

Bryan was an amazing host and his property was absolutely perfect! This beautiful suite had everything we needed for our stay including the ocean and what felt like a private beach is the accessible from the boardwalk directly outside of my door. The place was absolutely clean, and as a clean Freake that’s something I am pretty picky about. Before and during my day, Bryan was available easily via the app and responded back super quick. He even got me set up with sauna time during my stay. I would absolutely recommend this property or any managed by Bryan!

Amazing beaches and trails right out our door. Travelling with our dog they had put out dog towels and bowls for our pup. It’s a great little touch and very helpful.
