We were a group of ladies getting away for some relaxation, and this home was perfect. It was clean and comfortable and fresh, and the host was very easy to communicate with. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool. We plan to come back for our next girls trip!

Beautiful, spacious property, great for large groups. Kitchen was stocked enough to cook and share meals. There were both indoor and outdoor games that made finding fun "at home" easy. Would 100% recommend this property.

This was a great space for a large family get together. The pool was fantastic and we enjoyed it daily. The house was stocked with all the essentials we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and very lovely for walks. My only complaint was the internet being spotty at times. This caused the teenagers some stress , but forced them outside. So that was a good thing. We were very sad to leave, I’d stay here again for sure.

Our communication with the owner was amazing! The house was very well kept and stocked with what we needed. There were a few things that could have been fixed before we got there. Like the toilet paper holder in the master bathroom and the ceiling fan/light in one of the front bedrooms. The living room television could have had regular broadcast television available. Unless we knew know how to work it. The pool was a disappointment to us when we arrived. Not filled, not filtered, and had a lot of lime to be cleaned. The outdoor games and pool items were worn out.

Tina, Thank you for the review, we appreciate the feedback. The pool water was lowered about 6" inches as we had thought our pool tech was going to remove the calcium off the top tiles the day before your arrival but there was mishap with them on the day it was to be done. Pool filteration was fixed with new pool vacuum installed during your stay. We will get the fan fixed and toliet paper holder this week. Thank you, Lori
