"We absolutely loved the layout of the house - big communal space for relaxing, talking and playing games. Great selection of games supplied. Closeness to the beach was a huge bonus and the backyard gorgeous. We didn't mind that the dishwasher didn't work (a dish drainer would've been good) and we had no issue with the slow hot water.

The Coastal Tiny House was remote enough that it was very peaceful and quiet, but within an easy distance to places we wanted to be! It was comfortable for two people and had the ammenities we needed. Unfortunately the house was a bit unclean, and we thought there might have been a mouse running around.
