We were truly impressed the property! Everything was in excellent working order. The property had a wonderful HVAC system...which we loved. Also, the property was very "pet friendly" with a very large backyard. There was also a structure that looked like a "bandstand" which would be wonderful if someone was going to book the property for a wedding or something. Overall, this was a wonderful property.

Everything about this place is five stars. I had great communication with Paige, my host, before, during, and after my stay. I liked the location because it was near everything I needed. I felt safe 100% of the time. The house was roomy and nicely furnished. The eat in kitchen was large and well stocked. I especially enjoyed the sun porch off the kitchen at the back of the house. There was a desk back there and a comfortable chair. I spent time each morning and evening back there and did quite a bit of work at the work table. The bathroom is large and nicely remodeled. Everything I needed was there. It was such a nice two weeks that I spent in this beautiful little cozy, safe, private and comfortable home. I hope to be back sometime soon.

Paige was a very responsive host and quickly handled any issues, concerns or questions. I stayed in her casita for 3 months while my house was being remodeled. It was close and convenient to everything. My dog and I enjoyed our stay and Paige was a wonderful host.
