Short sweet respite
We had a lovely stay. We arrived, got settled, and had drinks, appetizers, and an excellent dinner in the restaurant while perusing books everywhere. Bed was comfortable, location was quiet away from the hustle bustle. Had to be at an event in Gville at noon, and the timing worked out perfectly. It has the old Florida charm at its finest; I can't wait to return!
