Absolute amazing stay and experience. As an architect, I appreciated the great interior layout but more importantly, the amazing outdoor space. We interchanged lounging in the “front yard” and amazing backyard. Very useable and well appointed. We even played bags and bocce in the backyard and used the bikes to get to and from the beach. Thank you Colm for sharing your home with us!!!
