This was a great place. The onlything was the LED lights. I appreciate the safety bu the wooden shutters dont block out the light and it was hard to sleep, as I like my room super dark

This property was is so cute, when I checked in Robert was there to greet me and he is the sweetest ever! although they don't have breakfast they do have pastries available in the morning. But, if that's not your jam they are not far away from other eateries. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you guys for making this family vacation with my girls one to remember :)
