This lovely property in Summerland was the perfect place for a reunion with our dear friends. It was comfortable for 4 of us but could easily sleep six. The location is great- a short walk to the beautiful beach or park, restaurants and Godmothers a wonderful bookstore and coffee spot. The house has everything you need and the hot tub in the tropical back yard was wonderful. Paradise property management was very responsive- one of the beach chairs was broken and a new one magically appeared on our doorstep the next morning. We will definitely return- an overall great vacation spot!

We loved this place! Plenty of space and very private. The 3rd bathroom is on the lower level which was a bit challenging for the 2nd bedroom occupants having to use two sets of stairs. Bedroom 1 and 3 have their en-suite bathrooms.
