The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the 'welcome hampers' and the privacy of the hot tubs, consistently rating cleanliness a near-perfect 9.9/10.
Three Mile Beach
$300-1100/ night
Book this if You want a private, festival-cool beach house with a hot tub and sauna, but don't need a hotel lobby or room service breakfast.
Why People Love It
- Each house has its own sunken cedar hot tub and barrel sauna
- Vibe is 'luxury surf shack' with bright, eclectic interiors (no beige hotel art)
- Chomp beach bar and food trucks deliver street food and cocktails right to your door
Quick Take: It's a glorified, high-end holiday park for people who want to pretend they own a surf villa—and honestly, it works.
Reviewed by @ginagoesto: I stayed at Three Mile Beach and it was a total dopamine hit. From the neon kitchen accents to the steaming hot tub at sunset, every corner is photogenic. It felt like living inside a Pinterest board, but with the sound of the ocean nearby. The perfect reset.

- You have a dog (they get their own bed, bowl, and treats)
- You love cooking or grilling—the kitchens and Ooni pizza ovens are top-tier
- You want privacy without isolation; the food trucks bring the vibe to you

5 things to know before you go
💡The check-out time of 10 AM is aggressively early for a luxury property.
💡There is no daily housekeeping unless you pay extra; you are living in a rental, not a hotel.
💡The wind can be intense—it's a exposed coastal spot, so deck furniture might get blown around.
💡The 'welcome hamper' is genuinely useful (bread, milk, local treats), not just token snacks.
💡Mobile signal can be spotty, but the Wi-Fi is generally strong.
