Clean, comfortable place to stay while visiting state/national parks. Beds were great, kitchen was well equipped and it’s situated in a quiet neighborhood. Only thing missing was a washing machine/dryer but we found a nice laundromat nearby. Some more outdoor furniture would add to this very nice AirB&B.

Good location

This is our second time staying here and will not be our last. Good location for visiting the beach, hiking in the forest, or just checking out all the restaurants nearby. Also, the backyard is a nice place to sit outside and it is fenced and large if you bring your pet.

House was amazing. It was stocked with everything you needed and a very convenient location. Nice quiet neighborhood. We brought our dog and loved sitting in the backyard where she had a huge yard to wander around and play. A couple nice additions would be a sun umbrella in the back, a BBQ and fire pit. But even without those items our stay was perfect!

One of the best

We have done many VRBO rentals and on a scale of 1-10 this home was a 10 plus! Very clean, very organized and well supplied kitchen, comfortable bedding, very nice decor, great back yard and a very nice quiet neighborhood. There were no negatives. We definately recommend and would not hesitate to return ourselves.
