Surf Shack
This cottage is known and loved by someone as Home Sweet Home.
If the owner has left the door open anyone can enter. Otherwise only the owner or people with an access code can enter.
Note from Zander
This simple shack is located directly on the ocean, only a hundred some meters from the surf's edge, nearly 60km west of central Rio de Janeiro. Well isolated from the rest of the city, and out of the way of all the hustle and bustle, the quiet area's pristine white sand beaches are marked by frequent copses of mangrove along the water, with lush expanses of tropical rain forest shading the ground further inland.
Primitive but comfortable, the single-room wood-frame building is covered with a thatched roof, with windows on three walls allowing a wide panoramic view of the expanses all around. Inside, a brick floor gives a more solid footing to the enclosed space, and minimal furnishings are present, along with limited utilities being available, with those provided meeting just the bare needs of those staying there.
