"This house was perfect for us. We were in town for a dance competition, and the house was super close to the competition, as well as restaurants, parks, hiking trails, etc. The house was the perfect size for my wife and I and the 3 kids. When not at the dance competition we lived in the pool and game room. We loved our experience here and would recommend 10 out of 10 times. Thanks again Mario!!"
