FAQ ~
➤ What do guests enjoy most?
There’s really no place like St. Malo in the world....it feels like you're in a different country because the architecture is so charming. The house itself has prime position on the Buena Vista lagoon, the lush grass meets the water plus you have ocean views on the front side of the house so its just a very special vacation home. To wake up and sip coffee looking at the ocean, or meditate on in the backyard with amazing views, its the perfect place to relax and recharge.
➤ Is the area safe and good for families?
Totally. It’s also great for kids. Our house is in a private, gated community with a full-time guard. The roads are paved, tons of kids (drive slow!). If you have very young children, they must be supervised at all times because the house is lakefront..
➤ Is it good for remote workers?
We have high-speed internet in every room and there's a ton of quiet areas to get work done should you need to while here on vacation.

We’re so privileged to be able to share our family’s little slice of paradise with people like you and hope that you feel at home, create lifelong memories, and know that we’ll be here for you at all times to ensure it.
Every detail of our home has been thoughtfully curated with our guest experience in mind....so if you enjoy good old fashioned hospitality, you've found the right place! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
