“Lodge by the Beach was one of the most memorable lodgings we’ve ever stayed in. Designed and built by the architect-owner, Alan with industrial grade materials for safety and various art pieces brought in from overseas, the property is truly amazing. Perched atop a hill near the Split Apple Rock with breathtaking views of the ocean and lush forests, it even offers the private access to a secluded, pristine beach, which made our stay feel like a true escape from the world.

“Posto incantevole, immerso nella quiete attorniato da alberi da frutto. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e mettono a disposizione tutto quello che producono. La colazione è superba, frutta e marmellate fi loro produzione, come il pane ed affini. Ottimi gli spazi comuni, dalla cucina alla lobby che ha anche una consolle stile anni 80 con tutti i giochi (della mia infanzia). C'è anche il locale TV con una infinità di DVD. la stanza è accogliente ed il bagno è grande (rispetto alla media di quelli...

“Everything was perfect, just extremely bad wifi (you can say no wifi there)”
