Beautiful suite, just like home . The owners have thought of everything. I had the Marriott booked for a work trip but found this at last minute and was excited to be the first guest in their brand new suite. They were half the price of the local hotels with 10x the value and comfort ! The short trail walk to Westwood lake couldn’t be more perfect to relax at after long day, they even provided everything you could need for a beach day (chairs , towels) these owners thought of everything little detail to make the accommodation perfect ! It was an amazing accommodation and I have rebooked 4 more trips and rearranged my schedule to stay here, looking forward to my next visit! Congratulations to the owners on a job well done , I know you will see years of 10 outa 10 reviews !!! I’m giving you a 12 outa 10 . See you soon Josh

The property was a great value, with a separate bedroom from the living room / (stocked) kitchenette. Room / suite was quite comfortable. Helpful staff - found an extension cord so that people in both beds had access to electrical plug.
