Our Best VRBO Stay

While we have enjoyed all of our past VRBO rentals, this home exceeded all expectations. The hosts were very professional and responsive, the home was immaculate, and was walking distance to one the nicest small towns in the South. Although we didn’t have Oxford on our bucket list of vacation destinations, we would strongly encourage a long weekend to visit.

Thank you very much. That is a very thoughtful review of our property. But in return you were excellent guests and had taken care of our exterior patio furniture and cushions. Thank you so much for being thoughtful.

Great stay in Oxford

We were in town for a wedding. We stay in may rental units and we own one as well. This house was SO WELCOMING with little personal touches. It is a beautiful, comfortable home that was even better than the pictures shown on VRBO. An AMAZING location. We enjoyed walking to the square to great restaurants and shopping. Very clean home. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.
