Summary: What a beautifully kept home, ideal for families and couples alike. Very Pet Friendly, I think our dog Lili would like us to move in! The Host has been awesome as a family crisis interrupted our holiday. Thank you Jennifer for your understanding and kindness. The view of the lagoons is absolutely unbeatable, and relaxation happened without us noticing. Thank you for hosting us.
