Absolutely stunning, designer property
This is absolutely a home we'll plan to return to -- beautifully designed, bright, and meticulously clean and well-maintained. Our kids loved the lawns and the pool/spa. We were in the area to attend a local wedding, and thus weren't planning to sit around the house much, but the Paroa Retreat was so wonderful that we ended up spending many happy hours relaxing and enjoying the view.
