What guests are saying about their stay:
“This house is incredible! The only downside was the pool not being cleaned for our first night but Wendy was very responsive and it got taken care of the next day. The house is gorgeous! The views spectacular, it can get hot at night and if you don’t like to keep the windows open, there’s only one fan. But honestly these are all minor things! We had a great time!” - by Pricilia (New York, New York)
