    Your home away from home

    November 15, 2012

    If you want to feel utterly at home, while you're away, you could not do better than this charming, spacious, immaculate cottage ~ complete with outdoor patio and vast views all the way to the ocean. Serene comfort, with all the amenities ~ just wonderful (people too).

    Self-Contained Cottage

    April 20, 2010

    Gracious hosts Robin and Aidan welcomed us to the hilltop cottage next to their own home. They provided maps and directions and had stocked the fridge for our breakfast on the porch. Their new puppy provided entertainment on the open wildflower patch where we also watched 3 hot air balloons.
