Beautiful little getaway
I loved this beautiful little cottage! It was clean, beautifully decorated and full of everything you could need. While you stay there it feels like a little hidden paradise but you’re just down the road from everything you would need or want. The property manager was great at communicating anything I would need to know and even touched based to make sure I had checked in and had everything I needed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
