Kim was an amazing host – great communication and checked in on us to make sure all was good. The house has stunning views and is incredibly well appointed – it has everything you could possibly need. The deck for a glass of wine in the evening to watch the sunset was superb. Couldn’t recommend enough and Kim was an excellent host.
