***GUEST COMMENTS****
"The house is lovely, we felt like we were in the hills of Tuscany. We had a wonderful vacation." A. Shorr, Tuscon, AZ
"Your place is ideal for mini-vacationers who want to get away from it all for the weekend. Ten minutes from world class shopping, beaches and boardwalks. Not to mention views from a cottage-like setting whose hillside location guarantees privacy. Four stars." The Okamoto Family, Northern California
"Your home is wonderful for families with young children; bedrooms in the back and living room/kitchen in the front. It was easy to keep watch on our little monkies as they played in the yard. Thanks very much for a relaxing stay." Jenny Jeffries, Orlando
