Just… WOW!!
Where do I begin? Amy was amazing throughout the entire process. Extremely easy to communicate with! Both Amy and her Husband were more than happy to accommodate us. This house was thoroughly planned prior to being available to rent. The view is, one of the best in Marathon. The Lazy River is not only enjoyable and something people only dream of, that was something else that these awesome people put a lot of thought into to accommodate both children and adults. Our family would love to stay here again and would definitely refer this place to anyone! Too much fun!
