Zazen offers an extraordinary vacation experience within a relaxing and beautiful environment. This unique wood and stone house is the home of a renowned local artist and is located on a breezy hill in exclusive Cap Estate, overlooking the golf course, hills and sea. Open, secluded, and rustic, it's unlike anywhere you have ever stayed and offers an almost 'interactive' open air feel, with the living/dining room being really open - 1 wall, no doors! Vanishing edge private pool is awesome! The space This is a very unique property with an open concept allowing a sense of freedom to live, enjoy and explore. There are 4 uniquely designed bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen and 2 double beds) and 3 full baths, original art, a private pool, extensive enclosed garden and breathtaking views of the island and coasts. The master suite is a stunning open plan, loft style room, offering romantics amongst you the opportunity to stargaze and be totally at one with nature.

The host was very responsive and pleasant. The outside area (open air) was unique and nice. The inside however was run down. The cabinets in bathrooms wouldn’t shut, sinks and showers were dingy. Wall decor was stained and old. Pool area needed new furniture (broken) and tiles were off pool. There is not a hot tub, there is a jetted tub in master bath (not sure if that’s what they are referring to). Don’t think I would rent it again.

Well thank you so very much for your remarks. I was eleated we got 6 of 10 considering your description. The cupboard doors has a bolt on the inside that just needed to be pushed up which could have been sorted in 5 seconds, if it came undone. Zazen definitely was not your cup of tea which I understand, but we did get 5 star ratings both before and after your stay. We will certainly have a closer look at your concerns and rectify what we may have missed.
