WOW!

We loved every minute of our stay! This home was so comfy and beautifully decorated with windows galore! We really enjoyed the property and patio area. I can only imagine how beautiful the grounds will be in May, with all of the catus flowers blooming.

Lovely Space, Make sure you have your check in link before you arrive.

The house and property are beautiful. We were happy with the amenities, the view, and the beds were just right for us. The house was pretty clean, but there were some specks of blood on one of the comforters. Our only big issue was with check in. The email that was sent to us did not include the link that had our door code in it and we had arrived at the house after our check in before we figured it out. We called the number provided in the email and explained the situation, then we had to wait for a phone call from a property manager. My phone silenced the property manager’s call because it was an unknown number, but the property manager didn’t leave a voicemail, and when I tried calling the number back immediately I got the generic “your call cannot be completed as dialed” message. We called the number in the email again, explained the situation again, then had to wait again for a property manager to call us. The person was short on the phone and while we were grateful that they sent us the link with our checkin info via text, we were a bit baffled by their insistence that we missed seeing the link in the email. It took over an hour after our arrival to get the door code information and finally get checked in. It was also frustrating knowing with most door locks like that, the owner can unlock the door on their end with a push of a button. We would still recommend this beautiful place, just make sure you have your check in link well before you arrive.
