Amazing House!

This house is so cool! We loved that it was elevated and all of the parking it provided. The house was so clean and even smelled amazing. The beds were so comfortable and we all of us slept very well. Can't wait to stay there again next year and I highly recommend!

July 4th

My daughter and I drove down to visit my son who is a Marine. He had extended liberty for the holiday weekend and this was a perfect place for our weekend. The home was beautiful, very clean and Vinny was very easy to get in touch with. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. By far the best VRBO experience.

This was our first time staying at a VRBO. We were a little nervous not knowing what to expect. Our Host Vinny was awesome! He kept us informed and quickly responded to any questions we had. The home was really nice and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. The bed linens were soft (Not the stiff type that is awful to sleep on). It would be nice if they gave you more than one towel a piece but not a deal breaker as you have a washer and dryer in the house. The location was a perfect location. Easy walking distance to anything we wanted to do. They have a drive through garage (which we did not use) but nice if you have several cars. There is also 2 driveways which is a plus so no one has to park on the street. You can sit on the porch and view the Bay. All and all I would recommend this house. We really enjoyed our stay and Vinny is GREAT to work with!
