The Ocean View Retreat was exactly that. Perfectly located near beach, restaurants and nature hikes. Wonderfully appointed and stocked. Comfortable beds. Powerful showers. Multiple gathering spots in the home. Great deck with ocean views for morning coffee and evening appetizers. Sarah's communication was prompt, helpful and welcoming. Very pleased.
