A truly exceptional property, beautiful and comfortable. 

We loved our stay! The whole time we were there we all kept commenting on how beautiful the home was and how well they had designed the space and decorated! It worked so well for our two families with little children, and we were so thankful it was pretty childproof! There were toys for the kids in one room, and worked well to spread out in the other beautiful and charming bedrooms. All the bathrooms were lovely and everything was very clean! The living area was very comfortable, the kitchen beautiful, and dining area worked so well! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. Wendy was great about communicating with us and we loved our stay here in this charming home! The neighborhood was lovely and right around the corner from a Publix and Trader Joes and other great dining options. All in all a beautiful spot to be for a couple of days and we would definitely return!

Wendy is amazing- just like the house that was beautifully restored down to the smallest detail. Finally a host that gets how to treat traveling families: great communication and effortless check-out procedures. We felt like we were staying at our extended family’s house without them there and all the drama. Would stay here again anytime!!

Nicely renovated little house and a very comfortable place to stay. Premium place to stay. Would stay there again.
