Tropical Beach Retreat

PeterRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Char was very communicative and easy to deal with. We were in town for a funeral and had exactly the number of beds we needed: three double bedrooms and a twin. The house itself is beautiful—elegantly laid out, functional, and high quality. There's a nice yard where the little one could run around, and a lovely deck to sit on with a glass of wine. All in all, a really nice experience. We'd definitely want to stay here again.
