Perfect spot to relax.
We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience! From booking to checking in, the host was responsive and awesome! The house was so comfortable and the perfect relaxation spot. Quiet, plenty to do and yet we just wanted to be in the house and hanging out on the balcony. Fishing and napping! Best vacation.
