| ROOMS
The west bohio is the master bed and bath with a queen size bed. The
east bohio is a guest house with two separate bedrooms each with a private
bath. One room has a queen size bed and the other has twin beds which
convert to a king size bed, depending on the guests wishes. The rooms
can be converted to a single suite by opening a sliding door between
them. All bedrooms come with robes and slippers, which can be purchased
as souvenirs from the house manager when you leave. There are showers
in every bath and an outdoor shower for every bedroom, which can be
lovely when returning from the beach.
