Wonderful, clean, pet and family friendly home! Great communication from the owner through the entire process. I messaged late with small problems, and she helped me to fix them right away! There are also some great little shops and restaurants in walking distance. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. Getting in and out of the driveway during busy hours is a little rough, but everything else about the stay was wonderful!

We had an amazing time. The basement is set up perfectly for family lounging with plenty of things for the kids to do. Location is walking distance to quite a few places. My 3 year old nephew asked if we could rent the place again so I'd say it was a hit!

Property was as advertised and in a nice central location! Easily walkable to some great spots and a short drive to the beach and other popular destinations in the area. Melinda has thought of everything as well, the space was well stocked with everything we needed down to coffee and phone chargers. The fenced in backyard and easy access to a trail behind the house was great for our dog too!
