The property is everything you are looking for. Great location, beautiful views, great layout and in the center of everything you can want. We had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for more. The host was always there if we needed them and made sure we were well taken care of. Even had us dinner waiting when we got there. We will definitely stay there again if/when we return.
This place met and exceeded our expectations! Newer everything, private pool, private hot tub, private sunbathing, fully furnished kitchen, two bathrooms so I didn’t have to share with my wife and her “bathroom routine”!
The drive to the top of the mountainside was “fun”, but the views at the top were well worth it!
Our host was so gracious and accommodating without being nosey, and just let us have our privacy.
Oh! And as a gadget guy, the windows, lights, and shades were all controlled by my phone. The place was gated and I controlled the gate with my phone as well.
Tremendous place ! Highly recommended!!
