Nice place to stay especially if you will be out exploring more than at the rental.

"Nice place to stay. Was a little disappointed the pool was not right outside of rental but was a very small 2 minute walk to the pool area. It was cooler when we came so only one day to swim anyway. It is a college area so there is other condos all around you."…"

    The home was big. We had two couples and could have easily had two more couples and/or children with us. It was a great location and a very private home with a large back yard. The home was very clean, which is especially important during this time. We had everything we needed and the owners were very responsive, helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend staying here. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We hope to return soon.…
