We loved this home. The owner is warm and friendly, available, but gave us all the privacy that we wanted. He ALWAYS responded to my emails promptly. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures convey. It is two blocks to the ocean, one pathway to the canals, and a block from the main street that has a variety of restaurants. Yet, the house is peaceful, very quiet, with two balcony's, a back garden and a gorgeous courtyard that connects the kitchen/dining area with the livingroom/fireplace area. It has a beautifully equipped kitchen - everything we could want, and the master bedroom and bathroom are heavenly. The one thing we all commented on, even though the house is very private from the street, is the whole place has the most beautiful light. We would highly recommend this home!
