A Perfect Family GetawayOur nearly two-week stay at this property was an absolute pleasure. It provided the ideal balance of having our own space while still being close enough to visit our grandchildren. The amenities were a huge hit with everyone. The pool was large enough for both kids and adults to play and swim, and the built-in safety steps gave us peace of mind with the little ones around. The four-person hot tub, especially when paired with the charming outdoor string lights, was a perfect way to relax and end each day. We also appreciated the plentiful supply of beach towels and the convenience of having a washer and dryer, which made keeping up with laundry simple throughout our stay.Exceptional ResponsivenessIn any long-term stay, small issues can arise, and how they're handled is what truly sets a rental apart. The owners here were incredibly responsive, addressing our concerns within an hour and having a solution in place within a day. This level of attentiveness is the most important factor for us and can truly make or break a stay.Pet-Friendly and ConvenientBringing our dogs was a breeze thanks to the fully fenced backyard. In addition to the privacy fences around the pool and hot tub, the entire yard is enclosed. While there are a few small gaps that very tiny dogs could potentially squeeze through, they are easily visible, and we never leave our dogs outside unsupervised anyway.We loved the feeling of being in the country while still having access

Cozy home

The home is clean and exactly as advertised. They even had extras that other homes we have stayed in did not (coffee pods, laundry detergent, towels, etc). The hot tub was great! The beds are comfy and the couch is oversized. We definitely would rebook if we ever come to the area again.

Overnight Stay

I stayed just one night on a long drive with my dog. Back yard was excellent for the dog and would have been great to enjoy for a longer stay. Bed was very comfortable and location was perfect for me. Would stay again.
