We had a very pleasant stay at the Gecko House. While our stay was for only 2 nights, we enjoyed it. The house was well appointed and the furniture was very comfortable -- it felt homey! The screened in porch was a huge bonus, particuilarly at night. Our host, Kelly was super responsive to all our requests and very accommodating where possible. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice getaway!
