    Feeding time!

    What a great place to let children get to know horses! On Mondays, Double J Ranch invites kids to sign up for The Good Alibi Club. They show the kids how to brush and feed the rescue horses and get to know about them. They learn the names of the different tack and how to measure out supplements to feed the rescues' different dietary needs. If the kids stay interested and keep coming back to learn they get taught more, such as how to lead a horse. My son stuck with it and showed dedication in learning the ropes and he rode a horse for his first time this week. He was thrilled to be lead around the arena and taught how to maneuver. Since they're a non-profit with a good cause you can give donations through their website. They never ask for donations though which is nice to not feel pressured. Their main goal seems to be helping horses and helping children learn about them. They are totally awesome! They also give lessons! Such a great place!

    My daughter (7yo) has been getting her horsemanship lessons at Double J for more than two months now. Joe and Arlene are friendly and professional, but also stern in their teachings. I especially appreciate letting the little one learn from her mistakes and getting hands-on with all horsemanship activities, where a modern parent like me often gets too involved in what she should already be doing on her own. The little one's face has been covered behind the mask due to the pandemic. Only recently we start to feel more comfortable removing the masks given the distance and vaccinations. I can see her smiling side to side the entire hour, whether she was cleaning the hoofs, putting on/off equipment, instructing the horse with a lunge whip, or riding the horse. Even with just an hour a week, I have seen tremendous improvement in her confidence and communication presence. The horses are all well taken care of and the equipment is clean. I frequently see the horses eating, napping, or just wandering around the ranch. These magnificent beasts are friendly and I get to interact with them while waiting for the little one to finish up her lessons. All around a great experience and I would recommend anyone to start learning horsemanship with Double J.

    Our son has a particular fondness for Joe and begs us to take him to see him (every time we pass the turn off).

    Great non-profit hostel. The grounds are so beautiful, and the scenery is sublime. The staff was…read morehelpful, and love the kitchen (bring your own food) and common areas with games. A few small complaints - the bathroom sink required holding the lever down (annoying - had to turn on the shower to wash my face), and no USB port or power outlet near each bed like some other hostels, although they do have a power outlet in the room, and wifi. While you're in the area, check out Fitzgerald Marine Reserve during low tide to see the sea critters, and walk the Devil's Slide Trail. If you're new to hostels, google "tips for staying in a hostel". It's not a hotel.

    I was going to chalk my experience up to just a grumpy old lady but after chatting with another…read moregroup who went in after us I'm going to change that to grumpy old racist lady I proposed to my girlfriend down the street from here and we came here to take some pictures with the lighthouse, upon passing the gate we were almost immediately approached by this grumpy old lady. Huffing and puffing yelling at us that this is a private property. I (VERY NICELY) told her that we were under the impression that there was an easement to the beach (which is true), she then goes to say that we didn't sign the digital waiver at the door, ok fair enough, I immediately tell her that we will go right away back up to the gate and sign the waiver. She then proceeds to yell at us about how we are not allowed to do professional photoshoots, okay lady I get that maybe I do look like a model (especially compared to her) but some friends with a camera isn't a professional photoshoot. I once again, nicely explain to her that I just proposed and we're just trying to get a few pics of the location and we will go sign the waiver right away. She proceeds once again to repeat herself about the waivers which I don't understand because I already said we would go sign it right away and her talking is actually what is preventing from us from going to sign the waivers. She then ironically says "it's unfortunate that this is what you will remember from your engagement day" like what?! LADY if you know you're ruining our day why are you doing this? but fear not it did not ruin our day because I will not let some old hag ruin my day so I once again tell her we will go sign the waivers, she then has the balls to tell me that "this is a non-profit, there is a donation box at the door" ok PAUSE I would be MORE than happy to donate $50, even $100 to your location but not after the way you just treated us. We end up walking back up to the gate to sign the waivers and run into another couple making their way down the hill. I jokingly told them to make sure they signed the waiver or they would get yelled at to which they told me they didn't and proceeded down the hill. We ended up running into them at the parking lot again and they told us that they lady gave them no trouble even though they didn't sign the waiver. I jokingly said to them it's probably because of race (we are asian, they were Caucasian) to which they replied that they really may have been the case because they had no trouble at all. It's unfortunate such a beautiful location is run by such an old grumpy lady. I 100% own it that we should have signed the waiver upon entry but if rules exist they should apply to everyone regardless or age/race/gender/etc.. and on top of that once I already told her we would go sign the waivers she could have easily sent us about our way but I can't imagine why she felt the need to continuously lecture and yell at us.
