Ashleigh was a brilliant host. Each communication she had with us was quick, thoughtful, warm and spot on for what we needed. She is one of the best hosts we have encountered. The house has superb views of the bay and was well position to safely ride out a major storm event we got caught up in. We knew we were safe from any risk of flooding or slips.
