going to retreat here was so chill and beautiful and fun

★★★★★j1monteverde

Excellent place to camp for spiritual retreats. A magnificent hide away home to discern and for profound meditation, as well as for entertaining recreation away from the city. Surrounded by nature, and sea breeze. Love coming and staying here for retreats every year.

★★★★★Michael

Absolutely beautiful grounds and atmosphere. Just got back from a retreat and everything is nicely kept. Quiet place to really reflect on God. They also have a groundskeeper who helps clean the facilities when you leave. Amazing place and highly recommended for any retreat.

★★★★Hien Truong

Beautiful and quiet place which is good for retreat with free natural music from ocean wave and ocean wind. One side, you could look out to the ocean. The other side you could see strawberry farm. Lovely and peaceful place to visit and calm down your sould.
