This amazing property was home base for an 80th surprise birthday celebration. Family came in from three states, eight adults ranging from 24 to 82, and one 11 year-old were all able to each have their own comfy bedroom space (mattresses were amazing), engage in ping pong tournaments and just absorb the beauty of this property indoors or outside with fantastic beach weather. Karin, the wonderful host, thought of everything (seriously, everything) guests need, as this property is perfect for a large group, and yet as an individual, you are thrilled by the little details hidden within each space with adherence to the 1930’s history of the original structure. Look for the exquisite tile detail within each bathroom, a brass fox door pull, and luxurious tapestries throughout the house. The courtyard is perfect for relaxing in the sun, and we played many rounds of corn hole, bocce ball and ping pong, everyday. Karin set us up with a well-stocked coffee bar, and other treats, so no one wanted to leave Villa Encanto to explore the opportunities for dining and shopping all within walking distance. But we did a bit, and were not disappointed (Gusto Bread). Our dog had her own space to explore (and take care of her business ) securely and also loved the courtyard sun. Each room continues to take your breath away with the beauty and uniqueness considered within this home. The photos do not come close to showing how fantastic Villa Encanto really is. Thank you so much, Karin!
