We had an amazing experience during our family weekend getaway. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was beautifully furnished, clean, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was fully stocked with all the essentials—from kitchen supplies and toiletries to extra blankets and board games—which made our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient.
The living spaces were perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together, and we really appreciated the attention to detail throughout the home. Whether we were cooking meals, lounging in the cozy living room, or enjoying the outdoor space, everything we needed was right there.
This was the perfect spot for our family to unwind and reconnect, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-equipped place to stay!
Positive: the owners and property manager are responsive and nice. Nicely decorated, new home, safe neighborhood, close to grocery stores, and fun shops, short drive to the beach. Grill was still unassembled, in box - property manager acknowledged this and brought over a grill and heating materials the next morning. Not positive: House is not ready for rentals. It is a new home so -- for example, door handles fell off, missing window blinds, none of the TVs were set up, one living room had a plug that didn't even reach the outlet, dish ware/utensils melted when we used them so we didn't, we had to scrub sticky labels off pots to use them, boxes in places so you can't use home, grill not yet built, new housing construction across the street in the mornings, extra room had no privacy since windowed doors don't have blinds/curtains, shower soaps hung by cheaper glue - fell during the middle of the night, woke everyone up worried something major fell apart. Recommend owner stay there a week, make improvements, then host guests. If you stay here, pack basics (cooking utensils/pans/thicker blankets/toilet paper/grill tools/bags for trashcans beyond main trash...), similar to staying in an empty cabin. Will be nice once better prepared. Wish owners the best, but I am looking out for families similar to ours that want to get away for a relaxing time away.

Hi Linda, we’re glad you liked the décor, convenient location, and our responsive local team, though we’re sorry that some aspects of the stay could've used improvement. After sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
– You were our first guest in this brand-new home, and we appreciate your patience as the final touches came together. We delivered a working grill and heating materials the morning after you let us know. We’ve looked into all your comments and tightened the door handles, replaced the shower shelf with a sturdier option, and plugged in and tested the loft TV. All TVs are working now and use WiFi, so guests can log into their streaming accounts.
– The office space isn’t listed as a bedroom, so the French doors don’t have blinds. This is accurately shown in our listing photos, so guests have an idea of what to expect. The daybed is included to provide guests with added sleeping flexibility.
– While the nearby construction is beyond our control, we've added a note to the listing so guests are aware before booking.
– The cookware and utensils are fully stocked and in good condition. After your stay, we double-checked everything to confirm the kitchen is well equipped and all new pieces are ready for use. All beds have a quilt that is machine washable for sanitary purposes, and extra blankets are also supplied for guest comfort. Toilet paper is provided for every bathroom.
We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue fine-tuning the guest experience. Thanks for choosing to stay with us.
