Such an enjoyable property and stay! This may have ruined the beach for me. Top of the line and my favorite VRBO I’ve ever stayed.

Exceeded Expectations

Our stay at Ed and Daphne’s place exceeded our expectations. The place is beautiful and well appointed. The mountain views, the fire pit, the gourmet kitchen, the comfortable bed, and most of all, the friendly hosts made this a perfect stay. I highly recommend.
