I have some from a few years back but I don't know if I ever scanned them. I'll look on my home computer tonight.

It's not very fancy but it's a good, friendly, and clean place to stay for not much money. It's a small two-story building right on the shore (a rocky shore, no beach) with tiki faces on each door but no tikis on the grounds. The lower units have little patios overlooking the ocean. I think the second floor units have lanais but I can't remember. I believe all the units have kitchens. There are no TVs or phones but we heard a TV next door - I think it was the owners' unit. We also left the windows open all night and slept to the sound of the waves.

There's a great lava rock pool right above the ocean. Waves sometimes crash over the lava rock wall and splash into the pool. There's some tables and chairs around the pool where they serve continental breakfast. There are barbeques for guest use and beach chairs and other beach gear in the office that can be used.

The location is a couple miles south of town. There's a small beach within walking distance towards town.
