The second bathroom is equally functional, providing a clean, minimalist design with a full bathtub, glass sliding doors, and charming floral accents. Both spaces are equipped with large windows for natural light and premium finishes to ensure a refreshing stay.


☆☆ KITCHEN & LIVING AREA ☆☆

The home features two fully equipped kitchens and expansive social areas that are naturally bathed in sunshine. Each kitchen is designed with a modern aesthetic, boasting sleek charcoal cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, and large islands that double as breakfast bars. These bright, open spaces flow seamlessly into the dual living rooms, where elegant coffered ceilings and plush sectional seating. One comfortable sofa bed for additional sleeping space are highlighted by the abundant natural light and direct access to a private balcony, extending the living space outdoors and creating an airy, inviting atmosphere.

The property offers two distinct dining areas perfectly suited for hosting large groups. The main dining space features a grand wooden table that comfortably seats eight, set under a sophisticated ceiling design that creates a formal yet inviting atmosphere for shared meals.

This rental has a lot of potential, beautiful space and a nice location. Unfortunately, there's a lot of areas where they have dropped the ball. Our stay was not smooth which made our trip a little stressful. All the instructions are online and there is not good cell service at the house, which made for a rocky start. Issues with cleanliness, items not stocked, lights not working etc. Would not stay here again.
