We had a truly wonderful stay at The Tidepools. Our group, which included three generations, enjoyed the beautifully decorated social spaces, incredibly well stocked kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. The spotless, stylish interior was surpassed only by the gorgeous surroundings, including the back yard beach and many stunning spots just a walk or short drive away. Franny and Luke were the consummate hosts, who made sure we had everything we could possibly need and were super responsive. Thank you for a memorable stay — we hope to be back!

Franny is the Sweetest person and an Amazing Host! She is super responsive. Literally got back to me inside of a minute every time I asked a question. She also prepared and delivered an incredible gift basket for our anniversary which was totally unexpected and such a thoughtful touch. This is our second stay in her properties and both were equally amazing so I know its not a fluke. We will absolutely return to stay at both places again in the future. Superb ABNB Experience!
