Overall a beautiful and charming stay for a small women’s retreat of 4 ladies. Not ideal for 6 guests unless it’s couples staying in the two allotted bedrooms. The pull out couch was very uncomfortable, but the host assured that they would add a topper to make the experience more accommodating to future guests. Very nice and communicative host and owner. Property was well stocked, clean and thoughtfully decorated.

Super cute rental. Located in a nice residential part of town. Easy to drive to local markets and beaches. Very clean. Kitchen stocked with essentials to cook meals at home. Was great to have a pool and the pool patio was very relaxing. Upgraded shower was fantastic. Pull out couch was not comfortable for sleeping. Owner responds quickly and is easy to reach.
