The home/island was lovely, as was Carol. Carol was very thoughtful and communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. As for the house: just truly magical and meditative. You can sit and look out at the sea all day, and that's mostly what we did. The island is lush, and no matter where you go, you can't help but be stunned by the nature, views and vistas. A wonderful respite and opposite to Los Angeles. A perfect way to spend the end of the year. We wish we could have stayed for a month.
