A spectacular place for my wife and me to gather with our family who no longer live close to us. Beautifully decorated, very spacious layout that provided privacy or togetherness as needed, coupled with a priceless view of the beach and bay 7 floors below. We enjoyed the beginning and ending our day on the balcony looking for whales as we sipped our morning coffee and our evening cocktail. We saw whales traveling together close to the shore on several occasions (maybe 300 yards away)!
As spectacular as the property was, the host was equally as impressive. It was extremely evident that they had put a lot of thought into all the little things necessary to create the best experience for their guests. The lighting in every room highlighted their decorations, the refrigerator came with refreshments and tastings of local favorites, coffee with accoutrements for varying tastes. We were greeted with fresh flowers along with some fresh fruit. No lugging of water. There was always a 5-gallon water cooler jug always available and some bagged ice in the freezer that lasted our stay. Every room had a box of tissues, that if ever emptied, would be replaced by the maid service. Again, not incredibly important, but a reflection on the attention to detail from the host. Another nicety were the over-sized beach towels that were provided making it easier to pack for the trip.
Lastly, the proximity to a multitude of local restaurants, shops and nightlife make it a perfect choice!
