** A Quick Note About our Palm Tree "Betty" - We’re sad to report that our cherished palm tree, Betty, didn’t make it through winter storage. Despite our efforts to replace her, local supply shortages have delayed the arrival of her successor. While we’ll miss her tropical flair, rest assured—Betty’s presence was not factored into our rates. We’re still bringing the sunshine in every other way!
