A BEAUTIFUL STAY!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the Chynoweth House, it was pure magic from the moment we arrived. This stunning six-bedroom beachfront home feels like a private sanctuary, where every detail invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be. The layout is effortless and serene, with open-air living spaces, dreamy verandas, and outdoor areas that blur the line between indoors and the natural beauty surrounding you. The pool was an absolute showstopper and quickly became our daily gathering place, morning dips, afternoon lounging, and sunset conversations we’ll never forget. But the true heart and soul of our stay was the extraordinary staff. We were completely spoiled for an entire week in the most meaningful way. There is something so special about being genuinely cared for, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the culture, the rhythm of the coast, and a level of relaxation that’s hard to put into words. Sammy is simply the best! A thoughtful, talented chef and an incredible manager, he made every meal and every moment feel intentional and personal. His warmth and attention to detail elevated our entire experience. To the entire team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This was not just a vacation; it was a memory-making experience we will be talking about for years to come! Maisha Marefu (“long life”) ✨ Sonja & Rob ”
