Cozy and quiet
The place is pretty nice and comfortable, the host is friendly and nice. House is a little bit too far from local attractions. But thankfully, the owner offered us a ride to the bus stop on our last day.

10/10, great guest house and owner
Amazing guest house! The owner is so kind and made us feel at home straight away. He took us to the supermarket and for food on our first day as well as taking us to the bus terminal at the end of our trip. It’s a legit 1 minute walk from a beach and a 10 minute walk from THE most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Would recommend to anyone. Great value for money and the location is great. Wish we had stayed longer.

這裡的一切都很美好，沒有開車也能夠搭車抵達，想前往真榮田岬潛水也很方便，是個寧靜的海邊村莊，只是附近餐飲選擇不多，建議準備食材前往，有完整廚房設備可以使用，期待未來還有機會能夠造訪

・海が徒歩1分以内 ・夜は海沿いで光も少ないため、星も綺麗に見えました。 ・当日のお昼頃にSAPの急な予約をしても夕方のツアーに参加させていただけた柔軟性 wifi、冷房、お風呂、キッチン使用可能なども言うことなしです。 ・徒歩15分、車で5分程の距離にスーパー、ドラッグストア、コンビニがあり小さめのレストランもちらほらありました。 ・人との交流や一人旅には言うことなしのコスパの良さだと思います。 また沖縄に一人旅するときはお世話になりたいゲストハウスでした(^^)

ひとり旅で個室を利用しました。快適でしたよ。
一戸建ての平屋をリノベした宿のせいか、おうちに泊まっている感じ。気楽にすごせる雰囲気ですが、オーナーやほかのゲストとの距離が近すぎるということはありません。そのため、気ままにマイペースにすごせます。 宿の中に、押しの強い張り紙（あれをするなとかこれはダメとかですね）がなかったのもよかったです。 レンタカーで北部観光するのもいいですが…。徒歩圏内のプライベート感あふれるビーチでのんびり過ごしたり、自転車を借りて「座喜味（ざきみ）城址」や「恩納岬」に行ったりするのもいいですよ。 「恩納岬」に行くまでの、高台から海を眺められる海岸沿いの光景や、「座喜味城址」から長浜集落へ続くサトウキビ畑の中を通る田舎道は、最高の雰囲気。さりげない風景だけど、かくれたビューポイントだと思います。 おまけの情報として。最近の柔軟剤や洗剤の香料がだめな方でも、こちらの宿なら心配いりません。シーツもタオルも香料の臭いゼロでした。環境への配慮から、自然なものを使っているそうですよ。
