5 The whole experience was perfect. AMAZING communication with the hosts from the 1st day of booking. Check-in, readiness and cleanliness of the house was Great! Host were very accommodating to our late arrival with a bonus nostalgic entrance. Candles, flowers, chocolates & bubbly were awaiting us upon our arrival as this was a 20 year Anniversary trip with our family. Midway through our stay the hosts checked in to see if any clean towels, etc. were needed. House is on a gated private drive & felt very safe. Would highly recommend this house & would most definitely stay here again.
