    was a church, a school, a police department, and everything this small community needed.

    The Lodge itself is quite simple. Maintaining a balance with nature, the houses of the first settlers were reconditioned to receive guests, preserving their austerity and simplicity, keeping alive the spirit of those who arrived there more than 60 years ago. Your Sea Cabin will have 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room, mini bar and terrace facing the sea.

There is a bar and living area ideal for relaxing and enjoying grand views of the sea or for Happy Hour drinks before dinner. There is also a library with a variety of books, bird guides and magazines and a Historical Room featuring a collection of memorabilia showcasing the history of the property.
