Everything about this place was amazing. The little touches of supplies were fantastic and we also loved the putt putt and frisbee golf in the backyard. The beds were very comfortable and good for our group of six. We made dinner and the pots and supplies were perfect. Publix is four minutes away as well. The owner was very communicative and made the stay amazing. We will hope to return soon!
