We rented this home for a week and it wasn’t nearly long enough. This home has it all, beautifully decorated and equipped with a heated pool. The entire stay was so incredibly relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were top notch. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in as we ate at home for all but 2 meals because of Covid 19\. We will be recommending this home to our friends and family and we will definitely be back. ##### Julie W.
