Cute tiny house but....
The location of the rental is great! It's right up the street from the bicheno blow hole and a short walk or drive to most of the shops and restaurants in town. I also enjoyed the neighbor cat that frequently likes to hang out next to the property. I was kind of bummed that the listing mentions wifi and television but there was no wifi and the tv only had music channels. The bed was stiff and had stains on the comforter.

Beautiful Bicheno
Very compact property. Great u could park the car right next to shack. Could walk everywhere in the town and coastal walks. The place was very quiet, clean and tidy but the outside lawn area needs some major tlc and there was no outside light.
