Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From bike riding, using the pool, kayaking, walking and eating amazing food this place more than met our needs for a weekend to unplug and get away. If it wasn’t so hot we would have played tennis! We are hoping to bring the family, our adult children, here next year for a weekend away.
