Southbeach

SitiRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We had a truly wonderful stay at Lewis and Allan’s place. The home was incredibly well thought out—every detail was covered. From baking and cooking supplies to cleaning tools, everything we needed was already there. The automation throughout the home made things easy, and the use of shelves instead of cupboards was a clever touch that kept us organized. The house stayed warm and cozy, and Allan was always ready to help—kind, responsive, and genuinely accommodating. What stood out most was the sincerity behind the setup: the thoughtful supplies, the washing facilities, even the maps on the wall—all made us feel truly at home, even while being away. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.
