The house was beautiful and immaculately clean. We loved the location on Snake Alley and enjoyed La Tavola for dinner and Wake & Bake for breakfast which were both within walking distance. Thanks to Becky for providing all the info and recommendations we needed for our stay. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The home is beautiful and the location can't be beat. Of course, being on Snake Alley, there is some climbing involved to get to or from your vehicle, but that's part of the charm of this location. Attentive and welcoming hosts!

Great getaway

This was a wonderful property to stay at. It was a quick walk to anywhere we wanted to visit and we got to stay on the historic Snake Alley. The accommodations were clean and modern and it was quiet, just a lovely overall experience. I would say if you have a hard time walking or with stairs you may not want to stay here as it is a steep walk.
