Kim was an amazing host – great communication and checked in on us to make sure all was good. The house has stunning views and is incredibly well appointed – it has everything you could possibly need. The deck for a glass of wine in the evening to watch the sunset was superb. Couldn’t recommend enough and Kim was an excellent host.

Great place, however there are only 2 toilets and the 2.5 is misleading
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug, 2025
Thanks for your review, Matthew. A 2.5 bathroom does mean the toilet is separate from the shower. We'll take a look and consider whether this could be made clearer—really appreciate you bringing it to our attention, as it hasn’t come up before. Feedback like this is always helpful!
