I enjoyed my stay at the hostel very much. The people, the animals, the nature and only minutes away from the beach ... amazing. The place was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the water pressure was great. We sat outside in the common area most nights playing cards and having a beer, the atmosphere was so welcoming.

We really enjoyed our stay. I think we got lucky with the room we received. We had direct beach access and enjoyed making coffee and walking out to the ocean every morning. We also liked having a kitchen with a fridge helping us lower expenses on our trip.
