The home was spacious and clean. The home was nicely appointed and very comfortable. We were able to easily host dinners with family. There are so many great restaurants 2-5 minutes away. We were never lacking for anything. Pool and back yard were spotless. A true private oasis. ##### Piper L. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joi P. 24 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy We stayed here for our bach party and overall had a great experience. The house itself is very big and modern, with a beautiful design and plenty of space. The master bedroom is huge with a very nice, spacious bathroom. All the other bedrooms are nice and quite spacious. Everything looks fresh, and the place's very clean.The staff was helpful and responsive. We did run into an issue with no hot water on the first night, which was very inconvenient as none of us could take a hot shower. We contacted one of the staff members and he came with the maintenance person the next morning and got it fixed, which we really appreciated. Another small improvement would be to provide a hair dryer in the rooms. Also it'd be helpful if there's some instruction on where to find the extra air mattresses and the bedding sheets. ##### Joi P.

The pictures on the site is very nice, but once you open the door, #boom omg it was so beautiful, huge, clean and fresh! Neighborhood was a plus. I celebrated my birthday with a nice gathering of family and close friends with a birthday dinner party and it was amazing! A time I will never forget. The host made sure I was satisfied from the beginning to end of my stay. Available with a quick response ready to help and assist with whatever I needed! If you’re looking for a great and rare find this is it, and guess what? They leave the light on . See you again soon! ##### Katrice R.
