The host was so gracious, informative, kind and thoughtful. The house was a beautiful home away from home. It was so spacious, the bathrooms had amenities, there were games, puzzles, books, a pool table and ping pong table and more. The kitchen had everything you needed and we cooked dinner almost every night of our stay. The weather wasn't stellar when we were there so we didn't get to enjoy all the great outdoor spaces the house had. but there was great patio furniture in all the spaces. The views were great and the location was in close proximity to the beach, hiking trails, restaurants and a great coffee shop. I spent a lot of time just sitting in front of the fireplace and my kids loved the huge TV in the pool room (and each bedroom had it's own too!). We had a cozy holiday stay as a family and it was a great getaway destination.
