"Our family came in for a family wedding and appreciated a place to house six of us comfortably. The house was received in excellent condition, easy to find, and easy to enter, no matter how late your arrival is. The host was prompt on responding. Coffee & creamer were waiting next to the coffee maker on arrival. The house is very clean and seems newly remodeled with comfortable beds, great air conditioning, a spa, game room in the garage (note: no air conditioning in garage), and a nice backyard with BBQ grill & patio table & chairs.
