Our family loved our stay here! It was a perfect place to just hang out as a family without having to do lots of running. Everything we could ask for was provided. Very nicely updated home! The swimming pool sells itself but everything else was just as nice. The hosts are very personable and responsive if you have any questions or issues. Our daughter moved to Florida last year so this was our first trip down to see her since her move. Hopefully we be visiting this place frequently. If you are looking for a great place to stay, do yourself a favor and book this home. You won’t regret it! Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home!

We would look forward to using this place again. It was lovely. The host was very responsive and the amenities were very nice. They had four Keurig coffees which helped so much because we kept forgetting to stop our first night. So happy to have a cup of coffee in the first morning. The pool was great hot tub was great kayak was great. I had to reach out to the host once or twice and they reached right back out to me. That is great to have at these Airbnb rentals. I almost didn't do Airbnb on this trip because the last time I stayed at an Airbnb it was terrible. I'm glad I gave it another shot. I truly don't have any negative comments to write. Everything was great.
