This was by far the smoothest easiest and most stress-free stay I have ever had. Sarah is so attentive and informative along with giving full access to herself and her property manager which gave us confidence in our stay right off the bat. The nice simple touch of a gift left for our family was so nice. The house is as described with lots of windows with bay views from the front. I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures of the inside. Only down side was when first walking in the front door, there is a tight staircase up to the second level with the kitchen, living room and master bed/bath. 3 bedrooms down stairs are roomy enough to be very comfy and the beds are just as nice. Small downstairs standup shower but this is a nitpicky thing only. Nothing that would ever keep us from staying here again.
