WHAT ABOUT THE SWIMMING POOL?
We do have a wonderful pool on the property, but it’s primarily for use of the Hilltop Villa (the main house) guests. If there are no guests at the Hilltop Villa, you are welcome to use the pool. Feel free to ask if/when the pool is available during your stay.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The Penthouse Cottage is perched atop a 5-acre avocado farm. The property is gated in a wealthy area with few homes around. Stroll through the grove and pick avocados (when in season) for homemade guacamole or various citrus fruits for fresh squeezed orange juice (and the most refreshing cocktails).
Guest will receive the gate and front door code prior to checkin and can reach me on my cell phone with questions or requests. There is plenty of outside parking available.

GUEST REVIEWS
Below are excerpts from a small selection of our all 5-star reviews:
- Their cottage is absolutely beautiful and the view was everything!
- The pictures don't compare to the beauty that surrounds the property. It was breathtaking!
- Simon’s & Jodi’s penthouse was by far the most enjoyable stayed we have ever been to!
- The location and view can’t be beat! The interior of the space is fresh and very clean, even better than the pictures.
- I rarely write reviews for anything but I had to write one for Simon and his amazing place! Everything was clean when we arrived. The amenities are spectacular!
- The stay is as accurate as the pictures if not better. The stay was clean, comfortable, private and welcoming. The sun peers for those who enjoy the outdoors, the bathroom is lovely and the kitchen is spacious. The living room stood out as the highlight of the home but not by far, as the entire stay is phenomenal!
- This location is stunning and the accommodations are gorgeous, generous, and cozy.
- The views around the property are amazing and the avocado grove behind the main property is awesome! We were even allowed to use the pool. As for the interior of the place it was completely updated with everything that was necessary to make the stay great! Everything was perfect!
