A Little Slice of Paradise
We so enjoyed our short stay here. The grounds are beautiful, complete with fascinating neighborhood peacocks. Our host couldn't have been nicer. She made sure we felt right at home. I hate to leave!

Peaceful retreat
I was overly impressed by the location, right on the lake. The grounds are kept immaculate and the people there were extremely nice. I felt completely at peace during my extended stay. They kept me informed about cleaning times and anything that may come up. I would highly recommend this place. It is definitely a getaway so close to downtown Delray.

Amazing Stay
This is such a beautiful property and the weather was amazing. Arlene was so kind and accommodating. I loved the cozy room, it was so comfy for me! Kayaking around the lake was very relaxing, and I caught a bunch of fish too: Peacock Bass, Clown Knifefish, Snakeheads, Gar and Catfish. There's even more species of fish in this lake too. Seeing the peacocks and iguanas around the property was so cool. I would definitely come back, and hope to soon! Arlene's great!

Great little place
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Arlene was always responsive and accommodating. The place is perfect for 1 or 2 people, in a beautiful, quiet setting, right on the water. Easy drive to the beach and downtown Delray.
I would definitely return!
