Family experience

We had a wonderful experience and the home was beautiful. It accommodated our family of 10, very nicely, for a soccer tournament we were in town for. The owners were absolutely wonderful! The communication was very personal and quick. Response time for an hiccups we endured during our stay were either resolved immediately or acknowledged and accommodated. Although we were only there for a short time, we enjoyed ourselves. The home had all basic essentials needed (towels, wash cloths, kitchen necessities, washer/dryer, etc). It made the trip so much easier to not have to lug all the extras. Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!
