This was a cute, older home that was updated beautifully. Everything about the home was warm and inviting, with everything necessary to feel at home. Plenty of plugs to charge electronics was a bonus. We loved the location! It was within walking distance of several grocery stores and restaurants. We were in town to see the Festival of Lights and the house was within walking distance of the Festival.

The cottage was lovely. Handy location, generally comfortable and had everything we needed. One suggestion for the owner is perhaps a drier would be great. We managed to dry clothes etc on clothes horse but if it had rained we wouldn't have been able to. Owner was very helpful and prompt replies. Thank you.

Gorgeous artsy well loved cottage in a handy area.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We felt like we were stepping back in time amongst history and the place was decorated beautifully and spotlessly clean. Caitlin was excellent at communicating with us and we appreciated that. We will definitely be back when we visit the area again. Thanks for the nice experience Caitlin!

A quiet and very pleasant stay in a charming villa

We loved our stay in the villa. It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with excellent quality bedding. The layout of the villa was perfect and the decking was a nice, sunny place to hang out. If I was going to point out any slight disappointments, the shower was a little weak and the lounge sofas could have been of better quality, but these are only minor issues.

Lovely feel to the villa. Every need catered for. Sparkling clean and very central. A bonus was the wee Philipino 'shop' next door and a yummy coconut buko pie just out of the oven.
