A cozy spot
for couples, this petal-pink house has just three cabin-style rooms in bright crayon-box
colors around a cute garden area. There's in-room tea service, and the management has a
conscientious approach of recycling water and composting.

Lovely and partially tucked behind the dunes, this airy home is a fun destination,
with flower boxes, friendly dogs and chair loungers in the dunes. Very personal service is
provided by chef host Mumo, who can cook up meals and put on a great barbecue. The
street is unmarked, it's the second sea-access road.

fresh seafood and offers bay views through huge glass windows.

Smack in the center of all the action (it's right where the road splits to the water-
front), these comfortable new cabins are spotless, cool and well equipped. Bedrooms
have a TV, and kitchens have full-sized refrigerators and stoves.
