This property was beautiful! All the design details were well thought out. Everything was clean. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The game room was a lot of fun and the huge backyard was just as described. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely rebook.

Perfect place for a small family gathering! Game room is super fun, backyard is spacious with so much to do. A/C works great. Kitchen fully stocked. Adorable decor. Street is very busy and parking can be a bit tricky. Would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay! The communication from the host was excellent from start to finish — very responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. The house was exactly what we were looking for and was perfect for our group. There were so many activities and things to do at the house that everyone stayed entertained and relaxed the entire trip. The space was clean, comfortable, and made for a great getaway. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
