We stayed at this property for 2 nights and 3 days, and it was an amazing experience. The location is perfect—quiet, peaceful, and ideal for a relaxing getaway.Our host Kathy was very welcoming, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The property is old but beautifully maintained, which gives it a lot of character. Our kids loved exploring the surroundings, and the avocado farm was a highlight of the trip. Thank you, Kathy, for the free avocados — such a thoughtful touch!When Kathy and her husband were away, their son Kris was extremely helpful, answering all our questions promptly and making sure we had everything we needed.Overall, we had a memorable stay and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with warm hospitality.
