This place deserves 10 stars! Everything was sparkling and the bed and linens were soooo comfortable. The balcony overlooking Mission Bay has lovely sliding doors and lounge chairs with foot rests and a table for enjoying breakfast and coffee. There is another table in front of the fireplace, a mini fridge, microwave, complimentary mini bar and coffee and tea. The bathroom is large with double sinks and a wonderful shower stocked with several kinds of shower gel, (color-safe) shampoo and conditioner. So many delightful little details and beautiful art. (Violet throws her own pottery, so there was some of that as well.)
There are a lot of outdoor spaces. Patio by the swimming pool, hammock, several clusters of lounge chairs and a covered swing seat. There is also a new addition this year of a cute "tiny house" by the pool.
Violet and Bill were charming hosts, greeted us when we arrived and interacted with us throughout our stay - they served us breakfast pastries in a glass dome on the counter and Bill volunteered to microwave the pastries for us. We had stayed here before when Violet and Bill were out of town, so we didn't get to see them - we loved meeting them for the first time this visit! We will definitely be back again.
