Beautiful, adorable home! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We have stayed at other properties from the same owners, and all first class in every respect. The property is well managed, and extremely clean, with excellent communication. We will definitly return to this place. BTW, our dogs also loved it! This is one property to seriously consider. First rate!

This was a great stay. I wish it had been longer. I loved the quiet trains that passed a couple times during the day. I plan to return to Melbourne and will hope to stay again. I suggest a guest book. I love to read them when I visit vrbos. DJMO
