We were going to my daughter’s boot camp graduation. It was only like 10 minutes away. Close to a delicious Mexican little restaurant (good prices). The only thing we didn’t like was the shower curtain. We suggest the owner buy the curve curtain rod, to make the tub/shower feel more open(bigger). Other than that it was great!!! ##### Dora S.

Comfortable beds. The only thing I would advise is a child safety issue. The owners could run fence across the back, connecting to the neighbors fences, limiting access to the pond because of the steep drop off. We would book this VRBO again. ##### Wendy N.
