We were celebrating a 50th birthday party and I had not shared the details of the property with the others. The ladies were all thrilled when we arrived and walked in. The expressions on their faces were priceless. They absolutely loved the place and kept commenting on how sweet it was decorated and we noticed new things everyday and kept showing each other the item we noticed. You could tell there had been so much thought into every last detail. We loved the home!!! The pool and the outside area were so relaxing and we loved all the space inside the house, the rooms were a great size and we did not feel cramped. I wasn’t sure if we would feel like it was too “childish” for our group of 40-50 year old ladies but it was so charming we all loved it!!! Many of the ladies were so excited that they called their daughters right away after they explored to show them and commented what a great girls trip it was and they would certainly come back. The location was perfect it was close to airport, shopping and the beaches. The host were very quick to respond when we had any questions and were very helpful from the very first interaction. I would 100% recommend the Sweet Memories home to make your own sweet memories!!

hank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so happy Sweet Memories could be part of your special 50th birthday celebration. It means a lot to hear that the house was such a hit with the ladies — we loved reading about your reactions when you all first walked in!
It’s so fun to hear how you kept finding little details throughout your stay. We put a lot of thought into making the space feel warm, fun, and full of charm, so it’s wonderful to know it all added to your experience.
We’re also glad the layout and space worked well for your group and that the pool and outdoor area gave you a chance to relax and unwind. And hearing that some of you called your daughters to share the house with them made us smile — that’s exactly the kind of memory we hope our guests walk away with.
Thanks again for being such great guests — we’d love to welcome you all back anytime!
