Reviews
Katie R.
We had a wonderful couples weekend at Bab Al Shams. The decor was stunning, high quality beds, pillows and bedding. We especially loved the sound machines in every room. We enjoyed the outdoor firepit and loved the Adirondack chairs with built-in cup holders. This owner has thought of everything that guests could want or need. The home was very clean and cozy. We did have to call the mgmt company with directions on how to operate the Nest thermostat but reached someone quickly. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!
