Violet and Bill were fabulous hosts. They made my boyfriend and I feel like we were visiting relatives. They were great at communicating with us before our arrival date and offered us a Continental breakfast. The room we stayed in was very spacious with a great bathroom. It has a nice deck overlooking the pool and was very private. When I mentioned the bed was a little soft for our taste, Violet suggested we remove the top foam pad. After that it was perfect for us. They were very generous with sharing their kitchen including setting aside some space in the refrigerator as well as on the counter for our food. They also let us use all their pots and pans and utensils. It seems they thought of everything. They gave us clear and easy instructions for how to enter the house when they weren't home, lots of towels and many extras such as a blow dryer, shampoos, soaps, etc. Plus they were just the nicest people. We really enjoyed chatting with them whenever we ran into them. The location was a short cab ride from all the places we needed to go and there was a shopping center within walking distance for the little things we forgot to bring. Thank you Violet and Bill.
