We had a fantastic time. The home was extremely clean and exceeded expectations. The 4 bedrooms were more than enough space and the living room was perfect for movie night. The beautiful dining table perfect for our holiday dinner and game night. The main bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The pool being right next door was ideal and having a dock for the pontoon we rented was perfect. The property contact was very responsive an accommodating . We hope to return in the future!

Villa Vino was the perfect place for my women's soccer team to stay while competing in the Sonoma Wine Country 60 Games! We had plenty of room to recover after our games on the outdoor decks and in the spa. The house was clean and spacious, perfect for our group.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Smith

We grew up in Maryland so are lovers of water, fishing and crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay, swimming along the beaches in Ocean City and enjoying the wildlife throughout the state. Kenny's career caused us to both spend over 20 years in Bermuda so again we were captivated by the water. So when Kenny retired and we saw this gorgeous but quaint waterfront opportunity, we couldn't resist owning and enjoying it.

Why they chose this property

We saw the resort in 2013 while visiting my sister in a nearby retirement community so we booked a vacation there for the following February, 2014. We enjoyed it so much that when we saw this house go up for sale, we settled on it before the end of the following month. We've only owned the house since March 2014 but we hope you enjoy it and the surrounding activities as much as our friends, family and we do.

What makes this property unique

Manatees in winter, scalloping in summer, golfing and fishing year round, gorgeous views, beautiful home!
