Super fun place to stay!
My hubs and I, along with our pup, stayed here for six days. The location was fantastic, and the Golden Girls theme was awesome!!! The place has everything you need, is clean, and feels relatively spacious despite it only being a one bedroom/one bath. The hosts were awesome—super responsive/communicative and wanted us to have everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!!! Highly recommend!!!’
