We had a wonderful time on this trip and a huge part of this was the host - Chris. Chris was extremely welcoming and quick to answer questions. The amenities were perfect for our stay and we were able to relax worry free!! We cooked, watched movies, sipped wine just as if we were at home but with a beautiful view of the ocean.

The host was extremely welcoming and helpful. Before we left home, he sent us a lot of useful information, and after we got there , he phoned and gave us some great tips to enjoy our stay.The home was very well equipped with numerous throws to wrap up in as well as a very well stocked kitchen. We chose to cook at the house and found everything we needed-even a garlic press!!!!
