5/5
I started using it because I wanted to play with my family at Odomari Beach.I am very satisfied with the warm customer service that I receive from all of my customer service, from the phone calls to the time I check out. It was so good that I booked two nights for Golden Week next year.Since my child was young, I only asked for a set of BBQ utensils, and I bought meat and other ingredients along the way, and even though it was before check-in, I was able to put them in the refrigerator in my room first.We played in the sea as much as we wanted until check-in time, and when we entered the room, we still had the impression of the beautiful sea at Odomari Beach, but the view was also outstanding, and the children were very happy, saying, "We played in that sea a while ago!" It was a great view. The size of the room and the facilities made it feel like I was staying at a relative's house, which I liked.There are no amenities and you need to prepare them in advance, but there are towels, washing machine, laundry detergent, hair dryer, etc., so it was enough.The only reason I gave 4 stars for the facilities is that I thought it was a waste to have some mysterious stains scattered on the ceiling of the living room.There are also bunk beds, so a family of four can rest in one room.The sea view from the bathroom was also great.I was able to wash the swimsuits I used and dry them immediately on the terrace, which was helpful because there was less laundry to do when I got home.This is a facility where you can easily stay for about a week.There are no supermarkets nearby where you can buy ingredients, so you will need to buy them before entering the island, but there are also rice cookers, microwaves, and cooking utensils, so in a sense you can live here.I just finished staying overnight this summer, but I'm looking forward to next year's stay, and I feel like I'm going to do my best every day with this goal in mind.I'll be visiting the facility's mother and the friendly ponies again.Thank you for creating a wonderful pension ^^

This is a group of cottages located on a hill on the cape of Ikei Island. Each building is spacious enough, and you can also have a BBQ in the garden. Some buildings have not only indoor baths but also open-air baths.

I chose this place to enjoy privacy. Even if you walk to Odomari Beach, there is a 500 yen fee per person to use the facility. The slope is so gentle that even I, 50 years old, can walk there. I put on my swimsuit, brought my life jacket, and brought my snorkeling set. As you enter the beach and walk to the left, there is a shade of a tree, so you can lay out a sheet and enjoy plenty of fun in the sea. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can see lots of fish! I only use the restroom, but all the employees are very kind! When you get tired, you can walk back to the cottage, wash yourself in the tap water outside, and hang out to dry on the pole in front of you! Soak in the bathtub while looking at the beach where you were playing earlier! After changing my clothes, I went to town to do some shopping. The cottage was spacious and well kept. There are also towels and laundry detergent. We have frying pans etc. You can spend your time as if you were living there! An uncle that appears many times in reviews. I could only meet her on my way home, but she saw me off with a lovely smile. The aunt who welcomed us was also wonderful. Although I was quite early, they let me check in and I was able to play in the sea without worrying about time. They gave me Blue Seal ice cream ♪ 2 nights and 3 days wasn't enough. Next time I want to stay for a week. Definitely recommended.

A great stay in a great location (though remote). The bungalows are large and surprisingly the owner stays in a wooden hut onsite. As we were the only one on the day of visit, the owner kindly gave us the last bungalow which has the full view of Okinawa with beautiful night lights of the main island! The bungalows are perched atop a cape too so the view downwards to the beach is great too. There's not much restaurants on site so remember to grab your food at a convenience store before driving onto the islands.Kids will love this place as there are large area to run about, a trampoline and a playground area.There's a few ponies onsite too!

It is not possible to get off to Odomari Beach, which is adjacent to the north face, from within the premises. You can enter once you are on the public road. However, it doesn't seem to be affiliated with the service, and you will have to pay a fee to use it. Ikei Beach, located to the south and a little further away, seems to be affiliated with the beach and can be used for free.

The location is really impeccable. If you like the beach and nature, the first choice is to book it directly through a friend. Although it was a little difficult to check in because we don't speak Japanese, the host grandma was still very kind. In addition, A grandpa took us in and introduced us very enthusiastically~ The room was a bit old, but complete, and a little not very clean because we were not agents of a professional cleaning company. All the cleaning was handled by two grandmas and one grandpa, but I can give 5 stars or more to the kindness of my grandparents. There are 4 horses at the door. The children like to feed them grass. There are vending machines where you can throw drinks. There is an outdoor flushing area because there is a beach next to it (charges apply). BBQ equipment is provided (for a fee), but we didn't use it. The nearest supermarket is 20 minutes away (Lawson). There are small insects in the room from time to time, which is quite natural Great choice~

The accommodation is a two-story detached house that feels like a vacation home. |The interior and exterior look a little dated, but if you're staying for a short period of time, it won't bother you at all. …
