Dear guest, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your kind words. We love our jobs here at "A Beach Bed & Breakfast". We enjoyed having you as our guests and we hope you will return soon. The baby humming birds are all grown up now. They live in the pine tree outside the dining room window. The wild parrots have left for the winter. Our gardens are still in full bloom.
