We had a fantastic time. The house is great and had everything we needed. The multiple outdoor patios make enjoying the sunshine or shying away from it possible all day.

Ron, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time and found everything you needed. The patios really are one of our favorite parts of the home — we love that you can chase (or escape!) the sun throughout the day. So glad you got to enjoy that. We’d love to host you again anytime!
