If could have a dryer for clothing would be great.

The hosts made us feel like we were staying with family. They were friendly, communicative and went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome. Breakfast was provided by a local Chef (delivered to the door each morning in a basket) and excellent - often enough left over to serve as lunch as well.

You absolutely do need a car, so if you don’t have one it will be very difficult to get around. Despite what google says, there are no supermarkets, cafes or restaurants anywhere nearby and if they are, they are closed. The property comes with a dishwasher and washing machine but there was no washing powder which was a bit of a shame.

We came here to relax by the sea after a busy Japan round trip. The property was ideal for doing that and we absolutely loved the two private beaches and kayak that came with the house!

An absolute paradise. Spacious guesthouse with comfortable furniture, massive outdoor spaces and TWO private beaches. We were so happy staying here. It's also a great spot to explore the North part of the island from. Host is kind and communicative.

Nothing. Note that you do need a car if you would like to go to a restaurant (and availability of restaurants is not always as reliable). This did not bother us though. We had a very nice lunch recommendation (lovely lady nearby!) and found our way in the evenings as well.

Superb location, with a private beach, SUPs available (use them also when the wheather is so-so!) and lovely host/owner.

We liked everything about this spacious property. It’s in a great location with its own private garden and beach. The accommodation has everything you need and the hosts, who live nearby, were fantastic and helped us organise kayaking, helped when we had an issue with a hire car and introduced us to local cultural events.

We had a really amazing stay. The house is comfortable, clean and very spacious for 2 people. The hosts are absolutely lovely and helped us organise taxis and sort out our food shop on our first day (we don't drive so had worried a bit about this, but it was all totally fine). The location was incredible - the beach is absolutely stunning and it was really special to have it all to ourselves. We had a memorable, relaxing time and we'd love to stay here again if we could!

The recycling was a-bit tricky however we were told by the owners not to worry too much about it.

Tsundara Beach Retreat was so beautiful, it was on the North West coast where you see the most spectacular sunsets. The retreat was set among palm trees and had its own private beach, it was so secluded and unspoilt. The beach was so quiet you could just hear the waves lapping into the shore. They had kayaks and paddle boards so we took those out a few times which was great fun, we got to kayak to more private beaches. The stay was very comfortable and plenty big enough for just the 2 of us, a family would be comfortable here too. Highly recommend this fantastic retreat, it has a very special place in our hearts.

I found it quite expensive, and be sure to pack some food as there really aren't any shops.

Lovely host and location, the beach is amazing and snorkelling is really great... just a few minutes from the beach starts beautifully colourful coral.

The floor tile in the bathroom gets a bit slippery if you are not careful.

How clean it was!! Spotless clean. We also loved the location - right by the beach!

It was a mistake to stay here without renting a car (in fairness, the hosts did recommend renting a car when asked about transportation). It is really in the middle of nowhere. Taxis to any restaurant to sample local cuisine or to activities like Kabira Bay, for example, will cost $40-$50 each way and take more than 45 minutes, not to mention needing at least an hour's warning time if leaving from the villa so that the taxi can get there. Taxi apps don't work from the villa, so if you don't speak Japanese / can't make phone calls in Japan, you also have to rely on the hosts to call one for you- adding more time to the process. Overall, you won't be having a relaxed island-vibe vacation if you need to plan your transportation so thoroughly. Rent a car, plan to never leave once you arrive (cooking all your own meals and only doing beach/kayaking at the villa itself), or don't stay here. Also, note that it is not quite as private as it seemed. The main back lawn and the beach are shared with another vacation rental, though it was empty when were there in the December off season, and they are also easily accessible from the host's house right nearby. The hosts could see us from their house when we were outside, for example. From reading the description/reviews I thought it would be more of a truly private experience.

Hosts are great, very helpful in arranging what we needed for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayak and could see some coral reefs not far from shore. We would consider staying here again someday.
