It was a very nice house. Very spacious. Was big enough to accommodate our entire team and coaches. The only complaint wasn't something the host was in control of and that was how far it was to the soccer fields. But that allowed for quiet evenings to sleep.

A Perfect Family Reunion

We hosted our daughter's wedding nearby and rented this vrbo for cousins and friends so they could be together. It was absolutely perfect! House was immaculate and nicely decorated. The rooms were spacious so everyone spent time together visiting. Wish we stayed longer! Property manager is kind and truly cared about our visit. Thank you!
