As beautiful as the photos are for this home on VRBO, they don't convey how exquisite it truly is!
The gorgeous back garden has a very English feel, with stone walls, lovely landscaping, and multiple places to relax: on the side deck, just off the master BR, in the Gunite hot tub; poolside, under the pergola; near the fire pit; and on the grassy lawn. We didn't use the grill, but that's there too. The flowers, the trees, the heated Gunite pool—it's all a dream. This place is a true refuge, very peaceful and private. We loved swimming and spending time outside.
The house feels welcoming the moment you walk in. Not only because the owners left us lovely flowers and wine(!), but the vibe of the home just seems friendly and warm. It is quite a huge house, but at the same time, it feels cozy. There are several sunny spots to curl up with a great book, have a nap, play a board game, etc.
Although this home is "high-end," in terms of the technology, lighting, appliances, marble master bathroom, etc., it's also unfussy and relaxed.
The big kitchen is well stocked, so you can do lots of cooking. You'll have everything you need. And you can enjoy your meals in the dining room, the screened-in porch, or right by the pool.
Not only was everything exactly as represented online, but....it was even better! Especially because of the pandemic, we were grateful to be here and found it calming and restorative.
And since the house is on a cul de sac, it's extra quiet. You'll enjoy taking strolls down the street in the early morning or in the evenings. You can play tennis or do yoga in the nearby park, and the village Main Street is a five-minute drive away. Great shops, restaurants (including Sen, Dockside Grill, and LT Burger), and cafes.
Could the owners have done anything else to make our stay better? No!
Would we stay here again? Yes, the moment they would have us back.
Thanks again for everything!
