Place was great! we had booked three nights, arriving late the first night. Unfortunatlely, we discovered the next morning that a storm had made the pool and hottub unusable, so we asked her to refund our remaining time. Vanessa was very underdstanding and accomodating. 5 stars

Fantastic experience

We stayed in town for a week at this home and it was lovely. The home was well tended and had a functional layout. I appreciate a grpund level home, especially when traveling with kids! My children love waffles, which i menrioned and she made aure to set that out with a bowl and whosk upon our arrival, which for me was such a thoughtful thing. We had a little hiccup woth the lock but asode from that, everything was exactly what we needed and more!
