Beautiful home
This was a perfect place for a large group. The outdoor space was beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked for entertaining unlike most VRBOs where you only get one pan and a few plates. Management was very attentive.

An amazing venue for a wedding!
Do not hesitate to have your wedding at this property. Rain or shine, the property delivers a unique experience for everyone. We planned on being outside on the dock for our Havana Nights themed wedding but rain turned us to use the greenhouse. And we are so thankful we did. All 81 of our guests had an awesome view from down below and up above and the greenery is so unique and makes for a gorgeous backdrop on our special day. We had a live bad in the living room and after dinner, struck 4 tables and had plenty of room for a dance floor. Both bars were outside under the balcony behind the pool. Ironically it stopped raining right after the ceremony so we were able to use the whole outside for cocktail tables and a space for our Havana Nights guests to relax under the stars. What an amazing night! Thank you Christina for being so easy to work with and so helpful along the way. A magical wedding starts with the perfect venue and a great team. This was ours! Oh and our guests were blown away with the property. Amazing. 100% recommend.
