Josh was a wonderful host. No surprises with my stay and the property description was exactly what it said it would be. Madison, the property manager was a great to work with. She was easy to contact at all hours and quick to respond! Thank you both for making our stay so enjoyable. You are appreciated!!

Thank you! We always encourage guests to let us know when they have problems and what those problems are so we can address them. Next time please always let us know each and every time you run into any issues so we can help
The 5 of us greatly enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable 3 bed 2 bath house plus the 1 bed 1 bath casita. The main living area has lots of natural light from the wall of sliding glass doors that open onto the backyard pool area. Lots of comfortable seating areas inside and out. Overall, the feeling is light and spacious. We didn’t cook but the kitchen seems to have most necessary items. We greatly enjoyed the pool and spa. There was an initial glitch with the pool heat but the host was very responsive and quickly got it corrected. The location is very convenient, a short drive to just about everywhere.
