Jan 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical! Such a lovely place for our three generations of family to stay. Serene and quiet with incredible views. A bonus were the children’s books and Legos That were available for our 4 y/o grandson. Plenty of room to play or simply just relax. Situated very close to shopping. Major Domo (Poppy in particular) was wonderful to work with. We definitely will book here for our next vacation. ##### Barbara C. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022
