Exactly as listed and so many extras that we were not expecting. Like the game for use, zip lock bags (because who thinks to bring those). It was a great location. Very quiet street. Communication was very good as well. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a cozy getaway.

Cute House

We loved this house. It was perfect for our family of four. The host thought of everything we could possibly need (including beach towels). My kids loved the hammock and sitting out front on the patio as well as the fire pit in the backyard.

Wonderful Property

This was a lovely place to stay during my time in the area. The home was clean and beautiful, with very nice decorating touches. There are many things to do in the area, and some great restaurants nearby. The outdoor space seemed very nice, although I didn't really use them since my trip was during winter. The hosts had excellent communication whenever I had a question, very responsive. I had a great time at this home.
