This is a very nice home with a beautiful back yard. Plenty of room for everyone and in a great location with a nice playground right across the street for the kiddos. Will definitely rebook if we are in the area.

Lovely stay for families

Great location, across the street from a park with swings, slides, basketball court and pickleball court. All rooms were spacious, bathrooms were clean and updated. Lots of space, indoors and outdoors. So many little touches that the host provided which made this rental a great place for families

The property is beautiful - pictures don’t do it justice. The layout is efficient and the backyard is stunning! It was a little dusty upon arrival. The host himself is a pleasure to deal with and communicative. KEEP IN MIND - neighbours can be unreasonable when it comes to acceptable noise levels throughout the day.

Thanks for the review Sarah. We work hard to provide a 5-star guest experience and have been successful at it across multiple hosting platforms. We strive equally hard to be good neighbours, as such we love families and guests looking for a relaxing stay, and are not the ideal destination for party goers as you experienced. Thanks again for checking us out. Best, -Terry

golf get away

We were a group of six women on a 3 day golf get away. The payment and check in process was very smooth and Terrence was available to contact if necessary. We were all very pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. We all felt that online pictures in this case did not do it justice. It was very clean and spacious. We were able, with some adjustments, to provide everyone with private sleeping arrangements and the three bathrooms, each with a shower, were definitely a bonus. We enjoyed the outdoor seating space and the extent of the property to enjoy. It is very deceiving from the font of the house. The only suggestion might be to clean up the pond. Would definitely recommend this property.

This home is so much more perfect than the listing could ever portray! We are already planning our next stay here. Absolutely wonderful experience for two small families with young children. Some huge highlights for our group: LOCATION. Safe neighborhood, and you can walk out the front door to an awesome playground. We biked through neighborhoods to the Friendship Trail to Crystal Beach and to ice cream! The convenience store is mere steps down the road. SIZE. Once we put the kids to sleep we watched TV in the living room space without fear of waking them up with noise. Mealtimes were seamless with a large easily navigable kitchen including an island with chairs in addition to dining table. PROPERTY. We enjoyed dinners at the large outdoor table on the back porch. The beautifully landscaped backyard provided a comfortable and safe outdoor space for our kids to run around, play in the grass, relax on the swing, or watch for wildlife. We loved watching the active frog pond and also spotted a deer, several rabbits, and a skunk! THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES. Keyless entry. Toilet paper, paper towels, dish towels/soap/sponge, coffee, tea, a few snacks, water bottles, trash bags, shower toiletries, high quality hand soap, phone/watch chargers, spices & some pantry condiments, every kitchen utensil, throw blankets, games, toys, books, sports equipment, a wagon… the list goes on and on. Many thanks to Terry for welcoming us to this beautiful home. We cannot wait to come back!

Families are our favourite and Samanth's is at the top. They left the home tidy and observed house rules in the preferred manner. I appreciated Samantha's easy going demeanour reflected in our communication. Thanks for the visit Samantha, hope to see you again.
