Travel style

I like slower travel with a healthy mix of activities, exploration and local eats. I believe the foundation of any good trip is a relaxing property with a gorgeous pool or stunning views and crisp sheets.

Laura's reviews

Laura is great! She made excellent and thoughtful recommendations that we'd never come up with ourselves. All of her recommendations were within our budget, convenient for the limited time we could get away, and each one seemed like a perfect fit for what we were seeking.

Laura was great and attentive to all of our questions. A total delight!

Laura was a great help with options and booking. She assisted with transportation as well, which was nice not to have to worry about. Working with her made everything go very smoothly.
