We are so pleased that you enjoyed the home and your visit.
It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we would love to welcome you back again in future, so please keep Verve Vacation Rentals in mind for your next peninsula getaway.
My family really enjoyed their stay, the property looks so much better in person and has so much breaktaking views all around the house. Kids enjoyed the spacious area to play especially the backyard. Neighbours are a little sensitive to loud noises after arriving late for check in, in the evening and even in the daytime moving car spots up the very steep driveway seem to annoy the neighbours (not speeding and still adhering within the noise curfew times) which is disappointing as we have stayed at numerous properties in the area and have never been disrespectful to anyone. Overall stay was great.

Would definitely come back here again!
We stayed in this house with a group of 12. We wanted a great weekend away in a comfortable home close to the hot springs, wineries, beaches, and other local attractions. This house was absolutely perfect for this! It was also well equipped for making a fantastic meal and sitting around chatting over a wine, playing board games, and watching the sunset.

Thanks for the experience!
A great place to stay for a few days or a few weeks. A couple for a weekend or a family group celebrating a special occasion, it is a house for all seasons and moments.The landscape is striking and the house has a birds-eye view of it all and the sea sparkles in the distance. The house is equipped with everything a visitor might need.
