Fantastic Vacation Home!
This home is stunning and the hosts are fantastic! We had two families staying at the property- 4 adults and 4 kids ages between 3-9. There was so much to do at the property we hardly needed to leave the house. The arcade room was amazing - great mix of arcade games, plus shuffleboard, Foosball and air hockey. The outdoor space was equally amazing - great pool, beautifully manicured gardens outdoor kitchen and eating area.Inside the house was immaculate and very nicely appointed. The furnishings and artwork were all nicely selected - it's clear that the host has a great eye towards interior design.One of the best things about the property is how well stocked it is to allow a comfortable vacation for the guests. Rental properties can sometimes be empty - not here! They had nice dishware, cooking tools, blenders, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, pool towels, board games, pool toys, kids floaties for the pool, grilling tools, etc - the list goes on and on! The hosts absolutely make it like a stay at a high end luxury resort! I 100% recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again for future travel to SD. Thanks Zeina and MO for being fantastic hosts and maintaining a beautiful property!!

Best Vacation Rental!
We had a large group of 12 family members, including myself, my husband, our adult children and their spouses, and our three grandchildren under three years old. This vacation home had everything we could possibly need and more! It was stocked with every dish, utensil, and appliance that you could ever need, including silverware for the babies!They also had two high chairs, a crib, two pack and plays, a baby walker and several other items for guest use at the property. It was also well stocked with plenty of towels, dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, and any other supplies that guests might need for their stay. The property was almost too good! Our family never wanted to leave it to explore the city and enjoy the outings I had planned! The pool and hot tub were amazing and well stocked with plenty of floaties and life-vests for the babies.The entire outdoor area was great! We enjoyed grilling by the pool and making smores at the outdoor fireplace.I can’t say enough good things about the home. We will definitely stay again if we return to the area!

Perfect family vacation destination!
We had THEE BEST stay at this property! As a family with 6 teenagers, there was something for everyone at this home. The pool and the hot tub were amazing, the lounging area with the outdoor kitchen/grill and TV made for fun days and nights. The arcade room was non-stop action for our trip, ending each day with a family Mario Kart challenge! Mo was an incredible host, very responsive and clear communication for each detail of the home. This house has something to offer for everyone, I cannot recommend it enough! We will definitely keep this one in the books for future reservations. Thanks Mo for sharing your home with us!
