Summary: I love staying here. The view of the lagoon and the birds is a slice of paradise making walks, including the beach and river a daily pleasure. It’s cozy, comfortable, well equipped and warm. The upstairs mezzanine is a sun trap and a wonderful place on a cold day. Communication is prompt and caring. Thank you.
