The photos do not it justice, it is a beautiful space and I don’t even remember a tiki bar in the pictures or the fire pit! Due be careful with the stairs and not all the windows have blinds. We stayed while it was foggy but just something to note. One thing with the fire is there wasn’t a hatchet so bring your own. Loved my stay. Super super comfy. ##### Sally T.
