Perfect Getaway
This house was immaculate! We were in town for a business trip in San Carlos, figured this would be a better alternative to stale hotel rooms. I specifically chose this house because of the levels of the house, it really made it to where we each (there were 4 of us) got our own little section of heaven. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. I had the master bedroom, the headboard was a bit squeaky but that was easily fixed by placing a hand towel between it and the wall. The garden tub and outdoor zen garden shower completely made up for any squeaky headboard though. You can tell the owners put this place together with love and the upmost comfort in mind, it was like staying in a meditation spa. The frogs at night were awesome to me but not everyone in our party, I tend to love everything outdoorsy so it was nice to hear all the little magical sounds you don't get to hear in the city. This house is a short 20-25 minute drive from almost anything. We were in town opening a new restaurant so it was nice to go and hunker down in all the bliss this place had to offer after a long day. It was raining most of the time we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy the upper deck much, but it was phenomenal. The outdoor shower was even more phenomenal in the rain. This house is the perfect getaway for any kind of trip and I would highly recommend to anyone who comes across this listing! 10 stars for the stay and 10 stars for the hosts who put so much effort into this amazing place! Thanks for making our work trip a little slice of heaven.
