Guest review: “Sandy was a great host. She was warm and welcome. She gave us a very comprehensive tour around the place when we arrived. The location is very convenient. It is a short walk from the beach and the main town center but away from the crowds. It feels very private. Sandy also offered us free laundry service for our one week stay, which was an excellent surprise. The meditation garden area is also very relaxing. It is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee and unwind. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway. I would not recommend bringing work. The space is somewhat limited for that.” – Kenny

Guest review: “It’s a great home! And a wonderful location. I loved how everything was prepared nicely and clean when we arrived. The bed was really firm but the host told me that’s how a lot of people sleep in China, and that he mainly caters to Chinese. I’m not Chinese but that wasn’t an issue for him. He did have a single mattress for us but I recommend bringing an air mattress if you don’t like firm beds. He has a full family in the house as well but they’re all nice. Including Tim, which was very easy to talk to and welcoming.” – Keithan
