The property was just as expected, clean and very well equipped. We like to cook and it’s so nice to have all the tools you need. We were very happy with the place, and the amenities in the community were great, particularly the pool, which is two minutes' walking up the street. Sean was a kind and responsive host.

Place was clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did not take advantage of all of the amenities. Location was very peaceful and quiet except for the wildlife. Will definitely look to stay there again if we visit the area.

The description in the amenities of the house were on point. We had a great time and the community had a lot to offer. The host was very communicative and provided everything we would need to know for the stay. If we needed to get in contact with the host, he was very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again.
