I cannot say enough good things about the property, the owner and location. We were so happy we found this listing. From the first time we walked in to the time we left we were in awe, with every detail of this house. Not to mention the location was perfect for us, and the added gated neighborhood was a plus! Communication with the owner was super easy and she was very accessible to some requests we had. We will definitely keep this house for future stays!
