We came in for a golf tournament. The house was exactly what we needed. I liked that all rooms seemed to have a shower for the most part. Only issue I had was in the back room the plugs were so worn out my chargers would just fall out of the wall. This was a pretty big problem with a sockets through the house. Definitely something to fix but the rest of it was great. Would for sure stay again.

Great stay!

Highly recommended!! Beautiful home especially master bed/bath and living area. Owner responds quick and assists with any help needed. Place is very comfy and game room in the back is nice! Only downside is disposing of your trash in this area is inconvenient and kitchen/cooking utensils are a little limited.
