Beautiful and peaceful vacation
We loved the pool house! The property and pool house itself were amazing. There was so much to do and see, but it was also such a relaxing atmosphere! It was honestly dreamy. Lydia provided so many things that we definitely could’ve packed much lighter. We felt very welcome and would absolutely stay here again!

You should stay here!
We loved our stay. I would note the second bedroom is the living room twin day beds or the pull out couch. Never the less it would be comfortable for 2,4 or 6. Lydia was a generous host and the place is spectacular. Lots of amenities. We will be back.

My MIL wants to live here.
The pool house was a great place to spend some time in December. We were impressed by how BIG it is, and it was stocked with everything we needed. Lydia was a great host, and we would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. My mother-in-law did not want to leave. It was wonderful.
