Two-story detached house with a view of the sunrise in the eastern sky of Seongsan

After retirement, I looked into ferry and accommodations for my month-long stay in Jeju. I booked a round-trip ferry ride on the Gold Stella between Wando and Jeju. Looking for a quieter, more secluded place to stay than the bustling city center, I ended up booking a two-story, detached house with a view of the sunrise over the eastern sky of Seongsan. This pension is located on Iljudong-ro, Onpyeong-ri, near Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. It's close to Onpyeong Port and Honinji, and a bit further from Seongeup Folk Village. While it's a bit far from Seogwipo and Jeju City, for people like us who only live in the city, it was a great place. Every morning, I took a walk to Onpyeong Port and Onpyeong-ri Village, which offered something new every time I visited. The pension owner and his wife were as friendly as family. The pension was clean, with dishes and other necessities provided. The barbecue party on the lawn, and the Americano and toast we enjoyed every morning at the barbecue table, were truly delightful. The tangerine orchard, grown by the hosts, was a new experience. The tangerines were especially sweet and tart when I picked them and ate them right away. Upon returning from my month-long stay, I was so grateful that they gave me a generous portion of freshly picked tangerines at a discount. This pension was a perfect fit for my one-month stay in Jeju. While the pension is a bit old and looks a bit dated, the interior is clean and well-equipped with bedding and tableware. The surrounding fields and a farming cooperative provide a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. However, it's a bit far from the city center, airport, and tourist attractions. The nearest convenience store is about 500 meters away in front of Onpyeong Elementary School. These inconveniences are somewhat overlooked by Onpyeong-ri Village. The morning walk and the scenery around Onpyeong Port are a bonus. If I ever return to Jeju, I'd love to stay here again. Thank you to the pension owners and their husbands for their kindness and comfort.
