We had the best time even though the weather was not cooperating. We loved sitting on the back porch watching the rain and all the wildlife in the yard. The apartment is adorable and very clean, and the bed was so comfortable! Kelly and Coach made us feel right at home and were very accommodating throughout our stay.
