The house was exactly as it was described and photographed on the VRBO website, which is to say it was excellent. Very well equipped and just the right size for a couple, located in a well appointed, quiet residential area.
This rental was a peaceful/ cozy stay. It was very clean and had all our vacation needs.
This stay is located in a quite area and close to local beaches.
Kathleen (owner) was very pleasant and had impeccable communication.
We look forward to returning.
Exactly as advertised.Super kind and friendly host.I would definitely recommend this property and host to Everyone and look forward to staying here again.
Stay was like a 1 Bedroom apartment. Quiet neighborhood, side entrance. Very clean, very comfortable bed & great pillows.
Kathleen has done a lot in a small space and was very gracious with almost immediate response.
One of my better experiences with VRBO
This was a lovely property, and Kathleen was a wonderful host. The bed and pillows were super comfy .. Her property shows exactly like her photos with special attention to details. The yard was well lit and had a wonderful and romantic ambiance. Super clean. Would definitely stay again!

Kathleen's place was super cozy and serene! She welcomed us with a thoughtful birthday celebration gift. She did a great job of setting the ambience after a long drive and arriving later in the night. The private entrance was a huge convenience since we were in and out our entire visit. The decor was warm and inviting. Her bed was amazing! The mattress, pillows and linens were absolutely divine. We loved having a kitchen available with a full size fridge. We were not far at all from beaches or downtown. We would definitely plan to stay again in the future. Thanks to Kathleen for being a wonderful host!
Felt very welcomed by host and communication was very responsive. It was a comfortable and convenient place for our 11 day stay. Extremely clean and felt right at home.
Really happy I booked this location. Quiet residence for a relaxing vacation! It is close to beaches, restaurants and anything you would need. Has everything you need to stay in. A perfect home away from home! When I come back, I will definitely try to stay here again.
A perfect unit run by host Kathleen who dealt with my initial booking and any questions very quickly. The location was peaceful and quiet. The unit was very clean, well decorated and had a lot of extras that were appreciated. I would have no hesitation in booking this unit in the future
My wife and I were pleasantly pleased with our rental. And so thankful to Kathleen to allow us to stay there.
Thanks Ms. Kathleen we look forward to coming down again and staying there.. thanks again
