Lovely Getaway

The property was easy to get to, very clean and relaxing. I wish we would have planned a day where we didn’t go anywhere because the place was so cozy and quiet. Roxanne was pleasant and easy to work with.

Fantastic!

The guesthouse was as described in the listing and more. Everything needed for our stay was there, very clean and in like new condition. The country setting was beautiful, yet only a few minutes drive to the grocery, shopping and restaurants. Roxanne and Jarett were excellent hosts, both were very welcoming and helpful. I hope future guests enjoy their stay as much as we did.

A great find!

The house was very well equipped and comfortable. The hosts were responsive. The cottage felt private, yet I knew the hosts were not far if I needed anything. I was visiting family in the area and this location was only a short drive from their development. I would certainly recommend this property.

Quiet and meticulously clean!

If you are looking for peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, you will love it. It was meticulously clean. We enjoyed watching the rabbits from the rocking chairs on the porch. Saw a beautiful sunset. It was well equipped, though we were on our anniversary and ate out. The beaches and so many restaurants were within 30 minutes. Best value on vrbo!

The Perfect Guest House and the Perfect Hosts

I really can’t say enough good about this place. The house and the property was beautiful and the decorations were stylish and very tasteful. Extremely private location. Everything is there that you might need and more than I expected. Extra bottled water, snacks, popcorn toys for the kids, games etc. The house was really super clean for which I am very grateful. The hosts were very responsive and attentive. Highly recommended.

Cute little hobbit hutch

This is a nice two bedroom guest house on the corner of a family lot. It's very quiet and peaceful - tucked away but just off of State route 70. Everything was clean and easy and I would definitely recommend to other folks.
