Reviews of The Three Authors
Review summary
The Three Authors is a stunning oceanfront property with expansive space that comfortably houses large wedding parties and offers breathtaking views and wildlife sightings. It’s well-equipped (pool, hot tub, theater, gazebo) and flexible about vendors, with responsive, helpful hosts. A unique, memorable choice for a destination wedding.
Perfect Beachside Wedding
It worked out perfectly for our group. Everyone had their own space to relax, but we could still come together easily, which was really important to us. The beach setting just made everything feel so calm and memorable.
Manish and his team were great throughout, super responsive and easy to work with, which made planning a lot less stressful. We also booked through Luxstay USA and that experience was smooth as well.
If you’re considering this place, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s unique, beautiful, and made the whole experience really special for us.
Stunning Oceanfront Celebration
There was more than enough space for everyone in our group, which made the whole stay really comfortable. We loved being able to spend quality time together without ever feeling crowded. It created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere for the entire weekend.
Manish and his Luxstayusa team were great to work with—very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. It made planning and coordinating everything much easier.
What really stood out to us was how flexible everything was. We were able to bring in our own vendors and plan things the way we wanted, which made the whole experience feel very personal.
Overall, it was an amazing place to celebrate such an important moment. We’d definitely recommend The Three Authors to anyone looking for a unique and memorable wedding venue.
Beautiful getaway!
