We were looking forward to a relaxing week just floating in the pool and enjoying the area. That’s exactly what we got! The house was wonderfully equipped and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and the hosts were great! Thank you!!

We really enjoyed staying at this house. It was very clean and well equipped. We even had a place to store our food! We have rented several places over the years and never had space to put our food in cabinet/pantry so that was a huge plus for me. There were also plenty of towels (bath and beach) and linens to use. I highly recommend this house.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
David and Kelly were excellent hosts. We had a smooth check-in. They reached out multiple times to check if we needed anything. We didn't.The property looked to have most - if not all - new furnishings. It was well decorated. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed.The pool was in great shape. We didn't use them, but the kayaks looked to be in good shape as well - the surrounding area looked to be worthy of exploring.Our stay was quite enjoyable!
