"Our Best Experience"

10.0

Everything was absolutely amazing! The mansion itself, the rooms, and definitely the staff!! Aaron, the concierge, was so friendly and full of information! They have a complimentary happy hour, delicious breakfast w/ french press coffee that was the best I've had(the ladies running breakfast were so amazing)! The bedrooms were beautiful! As soon as you step in the door you're taken back in time living in luxury!! We will 100% stay again!

We had no complaints about our stay!

"Refined and stylish."

10.0

Everything about this place is immaculate. From the perfect breakfast, happy hour drinks, beautifully decorated and equipped bed and common rooms everything is geared to giving guests a sense of refined comfort. Sit on the veranda with a drink and you're in another world. On top of that the staff were lovely.

Nothing, we loved it.

"It was very relaxing."

10.0

I really liked the fact that it felt like home. The house is gorgeous. The staff is wonderful. I will be going back.

What I didnโ€™t like is I think the breakfast should be extended to 11 oโ€™clock or 11:30 AM?

La struttura conserva l'architettura originale, fantastica se si vuole fare un tuffo nel passato vittoriano. Apprezzato la social hour col proprietario e gli altri ospiti, colazione a la carte inclusa un plus.

A/C rumorosa

La maison est juste splendide que ce soit ร  l'extรฉrieur ou ร  l'intรฉrieur. Le petit dรฉjeuner fait maison est dรฉlicieux (plusieurs choix de plat disponible). Place de parking sur rue disponible juste devant la maison.

Un peu loin de la plage ร  pied mais si on aime marcher cela ce fait trรจs bien.
