This home had all of the important necessities as well as lots of little details. It was clean, spacious, & in a convenient location. The towels were soft, there was hand soap, & the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, dishes, & cookware. The host was very responsive & helpful. The outdoor area also had everything you need including seating, umbrellas, pool noodles, & outdoor games. It was perfect for our family to hang out & celebrate my mother-in-law’s 90th birthday. I highly recommend this property!

Joy is the right word!

We had an unusual flooding issue with a different property we reserved and the property managers were amazing. They responded quickly to rectify the situation by offering this home as an alternative. They were so responsive and professional! They refer to this property as the “ joy house” and it definitely brought us joy! The pool is great, the house is very kid friendly and the old school pac man game was a fun extra!
