    This place is truly perfect for what I wanted and needed. This was a bucket list trip for my dog, Jude. It is centrally located and is in a nice, quiet area. We did come off season, but I really enjoyed my time here. This house is clean & well stocked for what you need. If you need anything else, there’s plenty of stores in the area. I loved the yard for my dog. The front and back patio areas were both very nice. Plenty of room for a couple and a dog. The front patio has a gate so you can close the area off for your dog to roam freely. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend.

    Great stay! The location was convenient and the home itself was clean and very cute. It wasn’t ideal to need to call to receive the door lock, but that’s a very small item.

    Check in was easy, house was clean and bed was very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again if it's available when we come down.
