We stayed with our teenage grandchildren. The location was very convenient. The outdoor patio and pool were great. There was plenty of room to entertain my brother and his family that live nearby. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our New Year’s Eve. Stay here at this property. The house is very comfortable and we enjoyed the back patio area very much in the afternoons and early evenings. So peaceful here and we went to a nearby park to watch the sunset and also went to the beach on the first day of January to watch the sunrise.

Great host, fast response, the neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were nice. The heated pool was an added plus being that it was cold. House was clean and had everything you need expect for an iron. There are lots of games for the family to enjoy together . The fire pit was also a bonus. The beaches are beautiful in the area and a short drive away..

This place was perfect for our 4 day Christmas stay. We really enjoyed the beautiful backyard space. We sat around a fire, fished right there in the backyard and swim in the pool. This place was fun for the whole family.
