Positive: A magical stay—like visiting old friends by the sea I stayed at Heir House with my two boys, and it was absolutely perfect for us. Traveling solo with kids can sometimes be tricky, but from the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space is so chill and family-friendly—laid-back in all the right ways, with thoughtful touches that made our stay easy and relaxing. The beach is just heavenly, and the pizza? Truly some of the best we’ve had. But what really made the stay unforgettable were our hosts, Claudia and Craig. They are incredible—warm, welcoming, and so generous with their time and energy. We genuinely felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. If you’re looking for a soulful, easygoing place to unwind (with or without kids), I can’t recommend Heir House enough. We’ll definitely be back.
