The house has a great vibe and it is very clean. The owners are very accessible and really care about their guests. Second time I have stayed here and it won’t be my last. Such a great location also!
Chris and Casey are the BEST hosts! They are so welcoming, and respond to questions very quickly, ensuring you have everything you need during your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in their lovely home!
We had a great time visiting Tallahassee and this house was perfect for our family. Thanks for everything and the wine & muffins too. Would stay here again for sure. All the Best, The Arthur’s
Everything. The den was wonderful the backyard was very pet friendly. The pool was wonderful to look at. We didn’t get in though! We sat outside beside it many evenings. The host kept in contact with us. We had no problems. We had everything we needed. Plenty of rooms. Everything was great! Thank you again for a great home to stay in.
The house was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the pool. Would be happy to stay here again next time we're in Tallahassee!
We were very pleased with our stay at this property. Well appointed, clean, and just the right amount of space for us, a family of four, to eat/sleep/hang out comfortably. No complaints whatsoever.
In town for our son's wedding and this home was a wonderful place to rest and relax in between wedding activities. The kids loved the pool! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.
Really enjoy our stay!!! Quiet neighborhood, very clean.
