Paradise

The moat relaxing place I've ever has the pleasure to atay at. The outside tub at dusk is like being in a rainforest away from the fast paced world. Being able to wake up and step into the salt water pool is magical. The location is dab in rhe middle of all things you would want to experience

This was a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay. It was spacious, clean and well equipped. The air conditioning also worked extremely well. The bed was very comfortable with space around it to move. The kitchen space was small but highly functional. I must add that the convection stove worked extremely well but there was a bit of a learning curve to turn it on. Thankfully, there was a manual in the bottom kitchen drawer. The photos posted on the website did not do justice to the elegance of this place. It was gorgeous. I loved the phone charger outlets that were located on each side of the bed and on the desk. Since traveling with a phone is universal, I think all places should have these type of outlets. They are not expensive but make life so much easier. The pool and deck outside the room were so convenient. We had our morning coffee outside everyday while being entertained by the birds. The yard was tastefully landscaped and maintained. It was also full of birds all day long which filled the air with peaceful bird songs. The property is located in a quiet suburb so the only sounds you hear are the birds.Jen was great at communicating and always proactive. I loved this place. I'd highly recommend it to any couple.
