We have stayed at several rental properties and have had some fantastic experiences. This property is at the top of that list. It was spotless, beautiful views, every possible amenity has already been thought about and the hosts are incredibly communicative and helpful. We can’t recommend this property strongly enough. It is absolutely fantastic.
