Summary: Beautiful home, with amazing views and plenty of privacy. We were a party of seven with three generations and there was lots of room for us all to spread out but also be together when we wanted to be. The outside of the property is spectacular and the swimming pool was larger than we imagined it would be from the photos. There were lovely areas to sit and enjoy the view (which was different from each vantage point) and it was all well maintained.Inside was equally lovely, with everything you could possibly need made available to us as guests. Thank you for having us to stay - we will be back!
