"The home feels excluded from everything but the host made it feel like you were welcome to the community. If you wish to hear the waves crash on the rocks and enjoy a perfect sunrise (weather permitting) then Saul's place is the spot to be at on your getaway from the norm. Thank you Saul for allowing me and my wife to enjoy your stunning home and location. Hope to be back again someday."
