Jun 22, 2025 #### Relaxing long weekend get away… We had a great stay! The house was very clean and well equipped. Easy to get around and a short drive to the beach and restaurants, but felt remote. The management company was awesome to work with. Would stay again! ##### Carlo F. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lyn K. Jul 25, 2025 #### Girls getaway The house was in a good location fairly close to restaurants ,shopping, beaches, and wineries. Although we didn’t cook any meals in, the kitchen was very new and well stocked. Even though temperatures were extremely hot the days we were there, we did enjoy the enclosed porch and the covered outside area. ##### Lyn K. ### 8/10 Good #### Lyn K. Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Enjoyed a girls getaway. Property was fairly close to restaurants, shopping, beaches and wineries. The kitchen was new and well stocked with new dishes etc. We had issues with the thermostat but got a prompt response from the property manager. Private location. Too hot to enjoy the outside space but has a nice fire pit. ![This buck came for a visit and later a doe. We were able to enjoy the outside seating one evening. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d8a52db-8d28-4d67-a5a0-ce35e90c33b1-1753904389469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lyn K.
