Incredible stay!

Everything about this property seemed too good to be true, but the house was even bigger and better than it seemed in the pictures! It was clean and had everything we needed. The host was very quick to reply to any questions we had.

the perfect stay

We really liked the house, everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were lovingly made, so that after a long journey we felt "at home" straight away. Furthermore, the house is located in a quiet and very pleasant residential neighborhood, so you can perfectly relax by the huge pool. A very special thank you goes to the property management, who made the problem of the malfunctioning pool heater theirs and, after the spare part was on backorder, installed a new heater within three days, so that we could enjoy our stay with all amenities until the end. Thanks again!!!

Absolutely perfect

This property exceeded our expectations in many ways. Location - quiet neighborhood but close to everything. The house is huge and furnished with high end furnishings and appliances. Especially loved the under counter ice maker. Pool and back yard were beautiful and private. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. Immaculately clean! Would highly recommend.
