To make a long story short, I was grateful to find this one. This is a very nice stay in a quiet neighborhood! The beds are very comfortable. The Host is so nice and gets back to you immediately about anything. To top the cake, the pool in the backyard is amazing and heated! Plenty of pool chairs and also a fire pit with a few chairs around. If the Sunshine Serenity house is available when I come back, I will definitely be rebooking!! ##### Zachary S.
