We had a great stay for the week. Due to the weather, we didn't get to enjoy the pool like we would have liked. Overall, the place was perfect size and comfortable for the two of us. Specifically, I enjoyed the fireplaces and the smaller living room space that had a computer monitor provided so that I could hook up my laptop and continue to do work from. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and we slept great. We appreciated the fact that there was a washer and dryer on site. The host was quick to respond and communicated well! We would stay again! Thank you!

Place was quiet and cozy for our short stay during Labor Day weekend. The bed was comfortable, AC was cold, and decor was nice. The private gate added a sense of privacy and safety. Cleanliness could have been a bit better but other than that it was a lovely stay.

Lovely little haven

A little haven of a property! We planned to go to the beach at least one day whilst we were there, but instead we ordered Instacart, and barely moved from the pool! Superb! Host was great! Speedy to reply to any questions and has thought of everything you might need for a few days of sitting in a pool and enjoying those around you
