The house was fantastic, exactly what we needed. We rented the place to have a work retreat to be able to work intensely away from our regular work settings. It feels rather secluded and is generally quiet. The living room area also worked well for us to work, but with the doors opening out onto the deck, felt very comfortable, and it made it easy to work all day from the living room area. We were very happy with our stay. Despite the fact that we were there to work and concentrate, the house would be very comfortable for people wanting to stay for relaxing in general.
