We had so many wonderful afternoon‘s in the beautifully landscaped pool area— and the short walk to both the river and the beach made our stay memorable. There’s no changing a beautiful property but what really made our stay special was the excellent communication and support we received from the owner Al . We stayed at the property for several months while we were waiting for a new house to be built and were in very frequent communication with Al. He made sure the pool, the yard and interior cleanings were coordinated and scheduled and always kept us in the loop. Al is such a wonderful host we feel so grateful that we were able to stay at his property and would recommend this home to anybody else, it was a great stay! ##### Carolyn C.
