Perfect get away! This is a lovely home with beautiful views. We sat every evening watching the lights come on as the sun set behind us. And I watched it rise every morning from the bedroom. Absolutely wonderful! House is amazing and very well equipped. There are even staples in the kitchen, which is lovely for a sort stay like we had. No need to carry salt and pepper in my suitcase! Hosts are so kind! The instructions are clear and even printed in a binder on the counter. Even still, they were extremely responsive when I had silly questions. Thank you for a very memorable trip!

This place was magical. We had no idea how lovely and relaxing this spot really would be. The layout of the house, the views, the furniture inside and out. Everything was wonderful!
