Fantastic home, and it was perfect for my wife and I the 3 days there. Its in a very quite location (except for the nightly wildlife = plus), well appoint decor, and lay out with all you can need.
We would recommend this home to anyone, and hope to rent again.
I'll have to say it sad for us to leave.

Disappointed in bed and Jacuzzi
The bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was very soft and sagged in the center. I called and asked if they could put something under there mattress and they were unable to.
The outside jacuzzi only worked 3 nights of the 6 we were there. The property manager told us it was not hooked to the proper watage . Should be a 220 and it was a 110. When it shorted out due to the rain, it took 2 1/2 days to heat. Needless to say we were very disappointed.

Beauty all around.
Our stay was amazing. The place is beautiful and has just enough privacy and seclusion that we felt very much away from it all. The sunrise and sunset views were spectacular. We are looking forward to another stay in the cooler months so we can enjoy the fireplace.
