This was such a cool, kitschy house! It was easy to get to all the attractions we wanted to visit. This was the perfect place for our family and our 3 year old was obsessed with the kids room and its toys. The check in process was so easy and whenever we had questions we got a very quick response.

We appreciated the cleanliness and location of the home. There’s a lip on the driveway that scraped the underside of our car every time we entered or exited the property. Our children enjoyed playing with the toys and loved their rooms.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Nov, 2025
Hello Caitlin, It’s quite difficult to remedy the roots of the beautiful Mulberry trees growing toward and under the driveway without cutting down the closest tree. The trees create the most beautifully shaded front yard. There are ways to roll over the lip in the driveway so not to scratch underneath your vehicle. I am sorry you found it difficult. I drive a low profile vehicle as well. I hope you enjoyed some of the local establishments from the long list we shared with you prior to your stay! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of my home. Please visit again.

What makes this property unique

Whether staying for a few days, few weeks or a few months, this home provides total comfort and plenty of indoor & outdoor space. We updated and upgraded the home with quality materials, fixtures, floors, hardware, and did not cut corners, and this includes the furnishings, compared to many vacation rentals where owners end up using furniture pieces that are too small or not functional. The property sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, so the living room is furnished with a large sectional sofa and arm chair that easily provides seating for 6+ adults; the dining room table & patio table also seat 6 comfortably. The kitchen is fully stocked with attractive/matching dishware, glassware, silverware, pots/pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, coffee maker & coffee pods, Ninja air fryer, and other small appliances. There is a full size washer & dryer that guests are welcome to use, along with iron/ironing board, and basic cleaning supplies, vacuum, mop, etc. Extra sets of high thread count bedding and ample topnotch bathroom towels are included. The backyard is fully landscaped with a mature lawn, fire pit area, outdoor fireplace, covered patio, multiple outdoor seating areas, hammock, planting beds, outdoor lighting, and gas BBQ Grill. There are Smart TVs in each bedroom and the Living Room, along with Roku's, and no additional charge for High Speed Xfinity WIFI. We have worked hard to anticipate our guests' needs and deliver a space that we would find comfortable if we were visiting and staying there.
