This house is wonderful, particularly if you are an old house person (I am, as both an historic architect and an architectural historian). However, you don't need to be a lover of old houses to appreciate this place; most of my family couldn't care less what year a house was built or in what style. Instead, what everyone in our party appreciated was how commodious it was and how Sue anticipated almost every need a guest might have. The kitchen is very well appointed, and there are games, books, and gear for almost any adventure (snorkeling, body-surfing, etc.). All of the rooms are beautifully furnished, and you can feel the gracious hospitality and care that the host has put into making a stay here a pleasant and memorable experience For example, there was a bouquet of gorgeous flowers awaiting our arrival). We just left yesterday and are already planning our return trip for next year. Thanks, Sue!
