We had a great stay at this peace of paradise. Location is incredibly relaxing and quiet, right next to the bush, and perfect for unwinding. We really appreciated that the property was all on one level and had everything we needed for a short stay. There was plenty of good reading material, and the deck is a real highlight—absolutely lovely if you get the chance to use it. Great communication from Sharon and we’d happily stay again.

Our host, Sharon was awesome to work with. Her house was so cozy and quiet and close enough to walk to town which was nice. Our bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. When we weren’t off exploring, Sharon’s home offered us relaxing down time to read or take a nap. We didn’t realize that this was Sharon’s personal home so used her shampoo that was in the shower because a shower was the first thing we did after arriving because of our long flight. We would recommend that perhaps these things be put away if they are not for renters use. We would highly recommend this rental. Sooooo comfortable!
