Magical stay
When we arrived, the owner of the property, Michael, met us & gave us a tour of the home. It’s an extremely well kept & beautiful home with so many places to explore. This was the most unique home I’ve ever stayed in! The art pieces throughout inside and outside the home are made by Michael. You can really feel the love he put into this home. He was extremely easy to communicate with & helped with any questions we had. It was a group of 6 of us and we all slept comfortably. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Island Oasis in the middle of town
Breathtaking tropical plants, bushes, vines & trees surrounded by art throughout. A renowned artist’s life work, a true labor of love. Every inch of this property was used tastefully and beautifully. The multiple water features add whimsy and the beautiful scent of Frangie pans and trumpet flowers are intoxicating. Totally private, clean and oh so comfy. The owner does a quick walk through which is necessary. He is a delightful human. The pictures don’t do it justice. We really wished we could stay longer.
