The owners were a lovely couple very welcoming and certainly obliging, however you wouldn't have wanted to disturb them at 11pm when you found you were getting cold and there wasn't an electric blanket on the bed.

Great view!
The room & grounds are a bit tired, but clean enough.
Norm, the owner was very personable, he took care or our every request. The property has a fantastic view of the bay. Nothing photoshopped here. I highly recommend staying, I would stay her again in a second.
