This property met all of our expectations and beyond. From the tranquil interior design to the amazing views this is the place to relax and enjoy all the peninsula has to offer. The golf cart drive is mere minutes to the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton and Prieta Beach Club. Highly recommend.
Our stay at the lovely, beautifully decorated, condo was fantastic from check in to check out. Ana from the concierge service was helpful arranging activities and providing any advice we needed. We will definitely come back again.
A great stay with our 5 adult children. Beautiful property with wonderful views and well located on the peninsula. Great beach club and dining nearby and fun commuting around via golf cart. Wonderful hosts and Ana at the concierge service was delightful and a life saver after a canceled flight. Awesome experience!
