Beautiful property. It was the perfect location for our family. We were in town for a funeral. We had a little difficulty when we arrived with the code. But were able to get things ironed out pretty quickly. The house was very clean, the hot tub was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this VRBO to someone! Hopefully we can stay here again whenever we come back to town.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was even more spacious than we expected from the pictures. Our children enjoyed the toys. The pack 'n' play travel crib was unfortunately broken when we arrived, but Mattie was able to fix it.

This was a great family friendly home. It was close for our son attending UC Merced to come and hangout comfortably. It was very clean and inviting. We were extremely pleased with our stay and will be returning for sure.
