Host left us a wonderful Halloween treat upon arrival. The home was lovely and perfect for extended family stay in the Del Ray area. The yard and deck are wonderful for relaxing outside - everything inside was as expected. We visit this area every year for Halloween and this place is our # 1 place for next year! Thank you hosts for a wonderful stay and great communication throughout !
