Baja Cottage Virtual Tour

I've been part of a beta group and working with a new virtual tour program PFRE Tour. What sets this apart from most virtual tours is that is not based on Adobe Flash, so one can view the tour from any personal device such as iPhone and iPad. My latest tour is Baja Cottage and available for viewing at the following link: Baja Cottage Virtual Tour
