Festive 4th of July Weekend
We had a great experience. Plenty of space. Sometimes when a listing says “sleeps 8”, it is really 5 or 6. Sometimes pictures lie. Not in this case. It was as advertised. We definitely recommend this property.

Ample room for family of five. Lots of stairs. Inconvenient that there isn’t a bathroom located in the living area. Area is walkable and has plenty of dining options. It’s a little noisy, trash pickup, sirens and loud people coming home from a night out. We enjoy our 5 night stay.

Lovely property!
The check-in process was super clear and easy!! The property could use some updates and 3 levels of living is intense but I would absolutely stay again because of the hospitality of the hosts and the space afforded!
