I had such a wonderful time! Daisy, my dog, had a blast with the squirrels and all the cats I think I counted up to 6! The place is gorgeous and very tranquil. I actually enjoyed myself. I will hopefully be back in the future!

What an amazingly curated home! It felt like staying in a mini art gallery! The cleanliness was BEYOND anything we had ever experienced in our 5 years of traveling each winter. The generosity of the host is beyond compare as well as her attentiveness to the tiniest request. I am a home-trained-chefy kind of gal who makes every meal of the day from scratch, so having such an amazingly stocked kitchen was like no other rental! From making many pizzas to pecan rolls, it was a delight. The neighbors/neighborhood is full of lovely people and pets. The beds were comfy. The queen is a bit firmer and the king a bit softer. And finally, as a bird-nerd, I saw and photographed many species during our visit.

They have thought of everything !

This is the best VRBO I have stayed it. It is VERY clean and organized. I loved not having to pack the shampoo! Very quiet street, easy to find. The owner's communication has surpassed anything I have had before with other owners. She is kind and very responsive. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to cook a lovely meal. I will stay here again for sure!!!!

Graduation

We stayed at Stefania's place for our son's graduation. It was exactly as described and she was outstanding with communication. We had a power outage on our last evening and she even went out of her way to make sure we had light and power to charge our devices. I can't say enough about the property or the host. Would highly recommend!
