Stay in a quiet seaside small house, Uminoie Musca

Right in front of the house, there is a clear ocean and a beautiful sandy beach where you can walk barefoot. It is not a prominent tourist destination or a convenient place like a city, but the seaside is very quiet outside of summer, and you can enjoy your time in a private place facing nature. I hope you can spend time with your family or friends in a beach house. Uminoie Muska is a renovated beach house that was originally a beach house. Mooska is an Estonian word that means "a person who enjoys life." We opened the inn in the spring of 2022 as a private rental, hoping that everyone who comes will have a wonderful time enjoying their lives.
