A beautifully maintained property and relaxing stay. The house was beautifully decorated with quality linens and Frette beach towels. Pool and deck was a great area to relax. Great location. All and all an incredible house. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic property - perfect vacation
This property is stunning in its beauty and location. Very high-end amenities with lots of lounging areas for a group of six. We had a ton of fun sharing meals inside and out. The pool is a perfect size for cooling off. And the outdoor showers were refreshing and unique. We could not have been more delighted with everything!
