    We honestly didn't want to leave. Lying in bed at night you could hear the soft lull of the ocean. The sunrise and sunsets were breathtaking. Everything has been thought of here, from steps down to the beach, pressure hose to clean your feet before coming onto the spacious deck, outdoor lights, water activities. Our dogs had an amazing adventure for 4 days, they thought this place was the bomb! We had to contact Judy over a water supply problem- she replied within minutes and the problem was resolved within the hour. Lovely owners to deal with. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.…
