A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!

Distance yourself from the craziness that has become our new normal. This is comfortably warm space to unplug, read a good book, watch for whales and dolphins or take long walks on a practically deserted beach. Or just go crazy: fly a kite, kayak, paddle board, volley ball. We are minutes away from superb local attractions, events and a great food scene!
