Loved, LOVED the house! We enjoyed our stay and the homey feeling it had! Was spacious for our week stay as a family of 3. We enjoyed the backyard space, where our little one was able to play and run around! Host was very kind and answered all questions, home was clean and comfortable. I would stay again in the future!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the home and backyard space. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!”
Stayed overnight for work event and it was perfect. Very clean and had absolutely everything one would need. We spent some time outside just talking and taking in the South Coast air. I bet when the water is up it is a even better. Would recommend to anyone needing a quick stay.
Highly recommend this lovely home! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the staff - very clear and easy check in and check out information. Everything was great.
This getaway may be small, but it packs a powerful punch. VRBO should have these hosts teach a class on how to set up for guests. It was clean and well stocked with anything and everything that we needed. We did not cook at the home, but we certainly had every available utensil and spice at our disposal. The coffee machine had K-Cups as well as traditional coffee and filters. The condiments in the refrigerator were well stocked and plentiful. The bathroom had all sorts of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner along with ear swabs and toothpicks. The internet provided access to YouTubeTV, football games, smart phones, and computers. The back yard was spacious with plenty of room for outdoor games. The bedrooms were small and cozy, providing plenty of privacy for those who needed it. The living room gave us plenty of seating space for winding down at the end of a long day. Quiet street with no traffic. Roosters and hens are next door, but they did not bother us much as we were out the door fairly early. We bought a few more things to stock their pantry on the way out, because we felt the need to pay it forward to the next guests. Cannot say enough good things about this property.
