"We noticed the attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked well and organized. Maybe add foil and zip lock bags would make even better. The beds had hotel pillows and sheets. So comfortable. We sat outside a lot and enjoyed the view and neighbors. It was very peaceful. The wine that was for us was a nice touch."
