Beautiful home in a historic neighborhood. Comfortable and well equipped. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to inquiries. I would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed the backyard and taking daily walks on a mature palm tree lined street with so many interesting homes. Comfortable beds and bedding. Thanks!

Beautiful, well stocked historical home
Our recent stay was fantastic! The home was absolutely charming, with a boutique historical vibe that made it feel special. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked, and the towels and linens were soft and spotless. The host was excellent with communication and went above and beyond by providing thoughtful extras for our toddler, including a pack 'n play, games, books, and a high chair The weather was a bit too cold for the pool, but it looked like it would have been very refreshing on a warmer day.
