This place was beyond our expectations. The courtyard gardens are a true labor of love, with veggies and herbs that you can pick and cook with. The entire place is charming and well appointed. My 5 year old and young dog had the best time at the dog beach, which is an easy walk from the home. A great kitchen to cook in and surprisingly well stocked with everything you need from pots, pans and blenders to spices and condiments. But what blew me away is how dog friendly the experience was-- it made for a very bonding, comfortable experience for our dog, WITHOUT feeling, looking, or smelling like tons of dogs have stayed there. It was perfectly clean and fresh! Lastly, I forgot my bathrobe and Linda offered to mail it to me. 5 Stars! We felt lucky to find this rental.
