"This place was amazing. The host was great and responsive. I wish I could have stayed longer because it was so relaxing. I would definitely stay again in the future. It is great for couples too. The host did say there weren't a lot of food options close by which is so true. Grab some things before you check in. The store at the front is so cute. If you want a drink or to make a cocktail, sit outside and relax, the store is perfect for that."
