Marie and her husband were lovely hosts. Although we only met them for a moment they were very helpful and welcoming. Marie wrote us a lovely note welcoming us to the jasmine studio which was a wonderful touch. The studio feels separate from the main house as there is a private entrance and also a wonderful private deck. The studio has a very calming feel and everything was well kept. We only stayed one night but thoroughly enjoyed out time there. We walked through the quiet neighborhood to a lovely beach which was only a short distance away.
