Quick Take: It's a stunning, secluded nature retreat that nails the romantic vibe, but you'll need to drive or walk a fair bit to get to town or the beach.
Reviewed by @wanderlustadventuresau: My stay at this secluded cabin was exactly the reset I needed. I spent hours in that massive soaking tub looking out at the trees, and having Broulee Beach just a stone's throw away was the cherry on top. The perfect mix of wild nature and total luxury.
