Well hidden cottage

We really enjoyed staying at La Brisa once we finally found it. The house is quite hidden behind tall bushes, and the entrance is the first unmade driveway around the corner which looks directly at the old garage doors. The old house is very cute and atmospheric which we both enjoyed. A local convenience store just around the corner was a god sent as we arrived too late and tired for going out for dinner. A walk along the beach towards the wharf there was a sigh which read 'Seal Resting Area' and a seal was actually there, which made us laugh to think it could read the sign. The bird life was wonderful and we came upon 3 very confident pelicans. Lots of road works were happening all over the island, so plenty of hold ups, which didn't bother us but could have been a problem if you were late for the return ferry back to the mainland. All in all, a great time.

A peaceful haven

I’m very glad that I chose La Brisa for a 4-night stay at American River. I was looking for a quiet, peaceful spot and it certainly delivers on that. The cottage is easy walking distance to the waterfront. It is comfortably and tastefully furnished, and the garden is a beautiful haven for reading and enjoying the birdlife. Deb is an outstanding host, very welcoming, and happy to help with local sights and places to visit on the island. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely quirky quiet place

Perfect location to explore middle part of island. Great coffee and superb seafood only a short walk away at wharf. Lovely stone cottage is spacious and well appointed, more like a home than a 5 star resort which really suited our style. Bed is extremely comfortable. The surrounding area also feels very safe and secure. Recommended.
