Steve is a wonderful owner. The Showstopper was was really cute. The place was immaculate, the kitchen was stocked with what we needed and the beds were comfortable. Steve was easy to communicate with and very prompt in answering any questions we had. We definitely would recommend staying here as we will likely do again next summer. And it is so close to all the action!
