We came there to take care of family business and was pleasantly surprised at the house. It was close to family there and was easy to get in and out. Close to the beaches. House was very secluded abs very peaceful. Lots of trees and nature. Our friends and my husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! Very clean too!

We enjoyed our stay! We needed a home away from home and a peaceful retreat. I stayed three nights with my daughter and two grandchildren. The property was fun for all! The playground was a bonus! At night the stars shine bright! The chirps of birds and frogs the wind through the trees were music to our ears! We will boo again and again! Looking forward to our next stay!

Beautifully cozy home tucked away in a private wooded landscape, yet still close to food, shopping, and entertainment. The pictures do no give any justice to this clean and spacious home perfect for time away with family and pets. We will definately stay here again!

We absolutely loved this property. It's so beautiful and secluded like you're all alone in the world, yet close enough to everything we needed. the house was so well decorated and felt so comfortable. The hosts were amazing and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. The home was clean and well maintained. We will be staying here again!

This place is absolutely amazing. Its location is private, yet close to just about anything one might need. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with the basics. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows. If not the cleanest AirBnb I’ve stayed at, it’s definitely among the best. As for being quiet, the loudest things we heard sitting outside were the tree frogs and chirping birds. We have added this property to our favorites for a weekend getaway and would recommend it to both friends and family.

The beds are very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. It looks just like the pictures. The host was wonderful and very responsive. I highly recommend this gem!
