Super cute

This apartment is super cute! I love the brick and the tile in the kitchen. We had a great time. Front porch is great to relax on, the kids lived the hammock. The back yard is also really cute. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Location, location!

Perfect getaway. Parked the vehicle and never drove until we left. Walkable location, beautiful parks, and the best dog park we have ever visited. Host was easy to reach and very responsive.
