From the moment we booked this location it was the smoothest process I've ever experienced. The Host communicated everything very clearly and pleasantly and it was an enjoyable experience overall. Everything was clean and very nice and it was really wonderful that we were staying in such a well maintained historic home. We didn't get to enjoy the nice back patio or enclosed veranda because we were so busy but it was certainly lovely to look at and we would like to do that sometime in the future. It was a great experience and if we have occasion to go back which we shall we would happily stay there again. I can't compliment the host and the home enough.

Thank you for such a kind and detailed review. We're so glad the booking process was smooth and that our communication made things easy and pleasant. It means a lot to hear the historic home felt clean, well maintained, and enjoyable to stay in, and we love that the back patio and veranda caught your eye for a future visit. Reviews like this make all the effort in maintaining the home so worthwhile, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.

Beautiful place. It was comfortable and set up so our 9 person group could all socialize easily. Kitchen was big enough to prepare meals for 9 adults without running into others.

A house filled with character. Our family enjoyed it and my wife and daughter simply loved the back porch. It was close to beach, restaurants and other places. We highly recommend for family groups.
