Girls’ Weekend

We stayed here for a weekend in Dec 2024. This is a great property! The house is super clean, the beds are comfy, the kitchen has all the right supplies (coffee & tea station!), the back yard is quite large with ample space for kids to run, a table & chairs to sit at, and the fire pit area is serene. The house is close to shopping & restaurants and the neighborhood is quiet & clean. Will be staying here again. :)

Short but sweet stay

Our overall impression was a very positive one. The location is excellent! Close to everything but far enough away that you don't feel like you're in the middle of town. The rooms were comfortable as were the bathrooms. Our only complaint was the lack of kitchen items, specifically cooking utensils and pots and pans. Otherwise, it was a perfect getaway!

Lovely Home

We came here to visit for 5 days and we were super impressed. This home made us feel like we had a safe place to rest between all the running around we were doing and it was super close to so many attractions, restaurants, and things to do. We are so happy with our stay and would definitely book again in the future.
