Fantastic!

We booked Kerry’s place because of the pictures and the location. The place is as beautiful in person as they are in the pictures and the location was perfect for us - walking distance to some fantastic coffee and breakfast spots and a short drive to averything else we needed. Check in was super smooth and Kerry was incredibly responsive to any of our queries. Highly recommended!!
