Completely Perfect Stay! This was an amazing property, the location is so great, close to everything! The property shows better in person than the pictures. What makes this property the best is a perfect host, every single expectation was exceeded. The host was available at the drop of a hat if needed, but also ensured you enjoyed the property uninterrupted.This was not only a 10/10 stay, but the best short term rental we have ever used. Can’t wait to go back if possible. Great for any group, we had a family of 6 and the suite was not only spacious, it made us feel like we could have fit more (a huge plus for a larger group).
