ENJOY THE MAGIC CITY IN A RELAXING PLACE TO STAY
You’ll find the WiFi internet amazing for working from home. Smart TVs are set up for you to log into your favorite streaming service.
ENJOY THE OUTDOOR AREA - FIRE PIT, DAYBED, TREE HOUSE, SUN LOUNGERS AND HAMMOCK
Outside you’ll enjoy a tropical garden and a big pool surrounded by comfortable shaded loungers and a magically lit garden to enjoy beautiful evenings.
The cottage is located in the back of our fenced-in half-acre garden underneath two avocado trees. We dont use pesticides. Depending on when you come, there are Avocados, Bananas, Star Fruit, Florida Cherry, Soursop, Hibiscus, Loquats, Mangoes, Mulberry, Papaya, Pineapples, Sugar Apples, Tamarind, …
