Beautiful modern gem in GNV
We loved the decor and open plan of this very clean VRBO. My family and I stayed here one night only. The neighborhood is quiet. The house is super clean and had a wonderful open plan up front with each bedroom having just as clean a look. Highly recommended stay here! We would’ve loved to try to pool but there was not enough time in our stay. Next time for sure!
