Absolutely wonderful place to stay

The home is just like it is pictured. No surprises. Lots of extra special and thoughtful features abound. Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable. We’d rent again if we ever come back to the area.

We stayed for the month of March and really enjoyed every minute. The location is very close to Shamrock Park and shopping but also is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house was super clean and organized. We cook at home a lot during our stay and this is the best stocked kitchen we've ever found. The cookware, dishes, utensils and appliances were in excellent condition. The bikes and beach chairs are in tip top shape as well. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We're so pleased that we booked for next year.

Such a great experience. We arrived late and were exhausted from the trip, we loved that the host and cleaning crew (A) had everything ready for our stay. From reverse osmosis water faucet to decaf coffee option, we settled right in. Everything was sparkly clean and well organized. They have a super cute and clean backyard as well as a porch for sipping on sweet tea in the evening. The trip was made complete with the extra beach chairs and bikes. We highly recommend this place, we will be back. Thank you!
