Absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The place was decorated so tastefully and the beds were very comfortable. Loved the bathroom…especially the walk-in shower. The kitchen was well appointed and enjoyed the complementary bottle of bubbly while watching the sunset from the porch. Everything was just perfect including the communication from the host.
