We LOVED the cottage and really enjoyed our stay there. Because of its great location and extensive amount of sunlight we even got to tan for about an hour each day (in February) because the fence blocked most of the wind, and we got to take repeat walks to Cafe Brasil. Mara was very good host, answered all our questions, and provided us great info/recommendations. The hot tub in the backyard is a great touch for a relaxing weekend, as well as the bamboo growing around it. We loved the big area of privacy and many windows to let the sun shine in. It's a great setup and use of that space, and the 2 headed shower is pretty cool too. We loved seeing how family friendly the neighborhood was with kids playing outdoors and riding bikes. I would recommend this place!
