The house was even more beautiful than the photographs. The backyard area is a little slice of heaven. The pool is a piece of art and it was warm too 85 for us and we enjoyed it our whole day. The bedrooms and living areas were also gorgeous. We came with just one other couple so we used the master bedroom and the Casita. We all felt very fortunate to be staying in such a gorgeous historic house. Communication with Michael was smooth and responsive. We loved the location as well.
