This was the best experience we have ever had renting a house on any platform. The hosts and the property are a 10/10. Not only did they accept our request last minute but their house was exceptionally clean, well cared for, well stocked with goodies, toiletries & everything a family would need. I have traveled extensively with my family & dogs and this place was the most restorative and peaceful place we've stayed at to date. My dogs loved the back porch, we could hardly get them off it. We took many walks in their quiet and beautiful neighborhood. The artwork and decor are amazing and my kids spent some time taking it all in. Many thanks for letting us stay! We will definitely be back.
