The home was immaculate, with great amenities and very comfortable beds- even the bunks. Small touches were thought of (like sound machines in each room, welcome snacks), the neighborhood was fairly quiet outside of the sound of planes (which was actually a helpful sleep aid), and we felt very safe. Location was great! Sara was communicative and made it clear we could reach out for anything. Would 100% stay again.

The property is very well maintained and clean. The hot tub is clean and has a built in bluetooth speaker which was very nice. The back yard is spacious and private. It was only a short drive to many fun locations and the host, Sara, was very helpful recommending places to eat and visit. I would definitely stay again!
