"We had a wonderful stay! The place was very nice, spotless, and well maintained. You can really tell the host puts a lot of care into the home. On top of that, the owner is an incredibly kind person who has adopted disabled cats — which honestly made the experience even more special. Such a big heart and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend staying here, and we would absolutely come back!"
"The staff (Val) were excellent! The kitchen staff (chef, mixologist) and the 7-course meal were also amazing. The rooms, grounds and general locale was stunning. My only complaint is that the rooms are not adequately sound proofed. I could hear the TV from next door or the room above which affected my sleep."

"Our visit to FLW house exceeded our lofty expectations. The home is in an amazing location, is of an iconic design, and includes all required amenities. This space is a dream, the views are spectacular, and the vibe is serene. Memories forever."
"I have traveled around some of the world. This home by far has the most beautiful view of the ocean I have ever seen! The house was spotless and we all loved the kitchen. The host was a very special person. She helped us with everything, directions to scenic sites, chairs and coolers for the beach. Just a great lady! If we go back to this area, will definitely rent the house again. "
