Great house, well appointed. Fourth bedroom is an "Ohana" with its own entrance. Pool is heated. Great spaces for indoor and outdoor dining. Great Wifi/TVs.
The house was wonderful, but Cuvee is what made the house and whole vacation experience amazing! They provided full concierge service and were available to help out with every need or request.
