Sumuide Terrace H

The tatami room was such a comfortable place for chatting over tea, and the jacuzzi and bathroom were great too. The bathroom has two rooms and a bathtub. Outside, the pool is clean and beautiful, with lovely exposed concrete details. The slippers are comfy and the facilities are excellent. It’s very quiet with no light pollution, so the stars and Milky Way are easy to enjoy 🌌. The barbecue setup is good, and you can get a barbecue set meal for an extra fee. One thing to know: the blinds by the windowsill don’t block enough light, so the bright morning sun might wake you up.

Breakfast was included and delicious, and on a clear night the darkness around the place might make the stars look beautiful. We had a great stay in a stylish, peaceful setting, with a lot of space and a fantastic pool and jacuzzi. The front desk is a little way from the main building, and inner tubes can be rented for 500 yen each. I did find the staff could have been friendlier. Also, the dishwasher didn’t get the dishes clean at all, so that needs fixing. Still, I’d stay again! (^^)

A large, untouched beach is only a 5-10 minute walk away. The house itself matches the photos, with a comfortable layout, new and clean facilities, two bathrooms including a separate toilet, bidet toilets in both, and a simple lawn. Barbecues outdoors need to be reserved and cost extra. It’s in a fairly remote suburb, so driving about 10-15 minutes toward Nago gets you to bigger supermarkets and restaurants.

The next morning’s breakfast was delivered to us, and the tortillas, fruit, and soup were delicious. I’m glad we booked breakfast. We visited in mid-April, when it was cloudy and then sunny, around 25 degrees Celsius. We chose this private three-bedroom villa for its pool and jacuzzi. The pool isn’t heated, but it’s long and wide enough for two adults to swim side by side, though not for butterfly stroke. We brought a swimming ring for our grandchild, which was useful since none were provided, and the jacuzzi beside the pool was good for warming up. There are dishes, pots, a rice cooker, and kettle, but no condiments, so bring your own if needed. The taps have water filters, there are plenty of towels, and the washing machine and gas dryer are handy, with the dryer working quickly. We’d like to stay again.
