Perfect for R & R

The owners, Jeisha and Marcos, couldn’t be any better as hosts. They maintain the property in spotless condition and provide just about anything a guest could need. A lovely pool, nice places to relax, a self-catering kitchen area with a stove, fridge, and all the implements necessary to cook with. The property is very secure and private parking is provided. Many delicious restaurants are nearby and the hosts are happy to provide recommendations. A fabulous spot to relax and unwind although excellent WiFi is available throughout the property.
