“Staying within the Lightstation precinct provides a unique vantage point, especially as the evening descends and the grounds become quiet, offering a beautiful sense of solitude amplified by ocean sounds. Accommodations, from the cozy studio to the larger houses, appear well-maintained, prioritizing comfort and space which are key for longer stays. The friendly staff and thoughtful touches, such as art supplies, suggest a genuine desire to make the experience special.”
