Family celebration

Family get together to celebrate Memorial Day- the place was very clean and perfect for the family, walk to the beach, downtown and the surf, plenty of restaurants in walking distance. The yard and fire pit and a huge plus!

Quiet Gem!

This neighborhood was so quiet and relaxed, being so close to the lake on a Friday night we expected some music or parties but it was a happy surprise that we got in and it was almost a sleepy town. Our host was very helpful, giving us recommednations for the area and very quick with her response times. So much character and hat tips to the original home design and the era in which it was built, can really see the amount of effort was put in to make this old manor shine again! I only knocked one star on cleanliness from the handful of spiders I had to rehome for the teens (all friendly breeds and tiny, but teens so of course the world was ending if they saw the little boogers). We were do comfortable in this stay, it really did feel like a home!
