Everything was fabulous. We didn’t get to meet the host, but everything was so self explanatory when we arrived, the only thing we missed was the opportunity to exchange pleasantries. Great Property at an extremely fair price

Lovely Home

We went and stayed to see family, it was a lovely home with so many accommodations and extra’s. Convenient location and such a great host, he told us the house was ready and we could check in anytime that day. We have agreed we will be staying every visit we make there from now on, very pleased.
