The backyard was spectacular, being July we swam in the early morning with hummingbirds and songbirds for company- and again at night under the stars and the scent of jasmine. I was able to host an extended family dinner for ten with comfort in the dining room and there was more than enough place settings. The oven baked the manicotti perfectly and the air conditioning system worked so well, my guests were cool and comfortable even with the oven on. The rooms are spacious, clean and the bedding has been updated since the photos. The house is beautiful.
