5 Minutes from Hyeopjae & Geumneung Beaches! Month-long Stay in a Luxury 2-Story Townhouse

I live here for a month, and since Hyeopjae Beach is only a 3-minute drive away, I went there every day. However, the place with the bed on the first floor smells a lot like cat poop(?) or sewer smell, so I don't recommend opening the window. Also, the bed is old and creaks a lot, and the blanket and mattress are damp like a soaked sponge. Fortunately, the main bed on the second floor was okay, according to other people who stayed there. Of course, there were a lot of bugs because of the nature of Jeju Island, but I was lucky that I only encountered raccoons, cockroaches, and huge spiders about 5 times during my 28-day stay(?). Fortunately, there are two F-Killas and an electric mosquito swatter in the accommodation. When you barbecue, a family of cats will visit, so prepare plenty of meat. It's so cute that the mother cat gives in instead of fighting over who gets to eat first. There are plenty of hangers, and there are plenty of towels. However, if you run the washing machine and dryer, it will run for about 8 hours without any help. Since it is an old model, what is worse is that there is so much strange smell after running the dryer that I was shocked when I came back to get rid of the smell. Since there is a large drying rack, I recommend just drying it indoors. If you are unlucky, the water pressure in the bathroom is usually weak: just dripping. ㅎ When using it on the second floor or when using a washing machine or when using it in another house(?).. If you are lucky, there are many times when the water pressure is almost as strong as a fire truck. The hot water also comes out very well. At first, I told you that I went to Hyeopjae Beach every day because it was a 3-minute drive away, but the food waste disposal area is there. If you have to drive, it is better to buy a bunch of large black plastic bags and prepare them before you go. There was an air fryer and coffee machine, but they were covered in dust so I didn't use them. There are other things like cups, cooking utensils, pots, and water purifiers. However, it might be better to bring paper cups. The host tries to solve any inconveniences right away. At first, it was uncomfortable because it wasn't my house, but as I stayed there, I think I became attached to it. This was an honest review.

First of all, I wanted a house with a yard to go with my dog, so I didn't have many options for accommodations, but it had all the conditions to make me feel comfortable like I was at home. I also brought my baby, Yeongsal. It was very nice because there were even items that the child could use. I heard that Jeju Island is humid, so I prepared a separate dehumidifier. They prepared dehumidifiers here and there, including dehumidifiers on the 1st and 2nd floors. So I had a nice stay~ The utility bills were gas and electricity. I thought the gas bill was high considering I only used hot water. But I don't think they charged more on purpose.

Living in Jeju for a month is too short. I lived for a month from September to October. I think I lived happily and enjoyably for a month because the host was so considerate. The sunset seen from the nearby Hyeopjae Beach/Geumneung Beach was really nice. Jeju residents and business people also said that Hyeopjae is a good place to live in Jeju. There are many delicious foods, and I could get everything I needed at Hanaro Mart in Hallim-eup. The various dishes and cooking utensils that the host provided in the accommodation were pretty and convenient to use. The beds and blankets in the large room and living room on the first floor and the large room and small room on the second floor were also very warm and comfortable. I definitely want to come back next time~~ Thank you.
