Amazing Bachelorette Party!
This property was absolutely stunning!! We had about 20 people stay all together for a bachelorette party and it was so very fun. The views, the rooms, the amenities, the communication with the host - everything was utterly seamless and exactly as pictured. Could not recommend this property or host more!!

Amazing property + amazing hosts
Amazing! The property (pool, house, spa, games, facilities) as a whole was fantastic, with every amenity and thoughtful touch you could hope for (welcome basket, state of the art espresso maker, dishes and pots and pans and teas and coffee and spices....). It was perfect for 3 generations of our family to hang out in for a week - enough room so we were able to do things together, but also have our own spaces, including an amazing kitchen to prepare our meals. Easy access to downtown and the coast, and grocery stores nearby.
And the Teal team (Jessica in particular) were fantastic hosts. Incredibly responsive to any request, excellent communication at all times, and generally a pleasure to deal with.
Hope to back one day soon!
