Nice place!
This property was a nice place for down time after the day of adventuring. There was plenty of things to keep the kids busy. Also had some outdoor space which is always a plus. It was clean and comfortable.

Girls Weekend
We stayed at this property for one night, and our main plans were to spend some time at the Sand Dunes recreation pool. The location was perfect! We were a short ten minute drive from the pool, as well as numerous other attractions. The house was very well-stocked with cooking equipment, but also had many items for convenience like extra cell phone chargers and beach towels for the pool. It was very clean and quiet at night. The sunset view from the deck was spectacular!

I love hosting so I can share the beauty of the area with other families. We know from experience that to have the best vacation everyone needs a good nights rest in a comfortable bed. I take pride in providing clean accommodations in a well stocked home where you don't have to spend a fortune on household supplies. I look forward to hosting YOUR stay!
