Feel the Rhythm of Moon and Tide

Susan & Ira's Honeymoon Hut (or Palm Hut - it's got a serious palm theme going on) is, as one would expect, comfortable, spacious, and scrupulously clean, with every detail accounted for - want to go build sand castles? There's a shovel and pail available to borrow. Is a picnic more your speed? They have beach chairs and a cooler.
The kitchen - and it's a full kitchen - has the necessary accoutrement for almost anything a hungry guest wants to make, whether it's toasting a bagel and making coffee, or a more elaborate meal, and all of the small appliances color-coordinate. As well, your hosts graciously allow the use of their outdoor grill.
The best thing about staying here, however, is not the mattress that leaves your back singing because it's got such great support, or the bathroom large enough to spin around in, either, it's the way you slip into a new rhythm after just a day or so.
My husband and I are nocturnal, but within a couple of days within these walls, I was waking at dawn, and and going to bed not long after moonrise. I spent early mornings on the sand, and fell into the habit of an afternoon nap on those days where I had evening activities planned. Not only did I return from my Baja vacation well rested and refreshed, the amount of walking and fresh food with only essential seasonings meant that I am probably the only woman on earth to return from Christmas vacation having LOST a few pounds. (Results not guaranteed, your mileage may vary.)
Susan and Ira are low key hosts. If you need something, they'll provide it. If you're desperate for company, they'll be pleasantly sociable, but if you want to be left along to simply enjoy the sun, sand, and sea, you'll be granted that pleasure.
Most of us go on vacations claiming we want to get away from it all, and then finding places that echo our home lives. The honeymoon hut really DOES get you away from it all, but never fear: if you're a news junkie, their free wifi will keep you well connected.
Owner's Response: Thank you Melissa!
It was a pleasure hosting you.
And we now have lovely dishes in a palm tre motif.
Thank you again!
Susan
