An absolutely charming historic home. We loved the beautiful details and the quiet neighborhood. Ferney the host was so accommodating with the few little requests we had. The pool in back was particularly tranquil. We stayed for over two weeks and felt right at home!

Overall a beautiful and charming stay for a small women’s retreat of 4 ladies. Not ideal for 6 guests unless it’s couples staying in the two allotted bedrooms. The pull out couch was very uncomfortable, but the host assured that they would add a topper to make the experience more accommodating to future guests. Very nice and communicative host and owner. Property was well stocked, clean and thoughtfully decorated.

Charming and thoughtfully decorated property ideal for small group getaways, with clean accommodations, strong communication, and a well-stocked home for guests to enjoy. Feedback regarding the pull-out sofa bed comfort was taken into consideration, and a mattress topper has since been added to further improve future guest accommodations.

Super cute rental. Located in a nice residential part of town. Easy to drive to local markets and beaches. Very clean. Kitchen stocked with essentials to cook meals at home. Was great to have a pool and the pool patio was very relaxing. Upgraded shower was fantastic. Pull out couch was not comfortable for sleeping. Owner responds quickly and is easy to reach.
