The home was excellent all around! We had a family reunion with 6 adults and were very comfortable. Amazing art and vibe here. The kitchen is incredibly stocked with whatever you would need- we hosted brunch each day. Great beaches and sushi nearby along w organic food shopping. We had a family dinner at the Bernardo Winery Gazebo 10 min nearby- great for a crew to celebrate life’s milestones. Host was very friendly. Beds were SO comfortable and the towels never stopped smelling like lavender! A Treat Retreat!
