This is far and away the best place we've stayed in years of renting vacation homes! The photos of the house are fabulous and, hard as it might be to believe, the reality is even better. The house and furnishings are wonderful and the pool, hot tub and lanai are delightfully relaxing. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They stopped by at our convenience to show us how to make the most of the high-tech options of TV, sound system, pool and lighting. When small issues came up, they responded immediately to fix things. We had a marvelous stay and hope to return next year.
