You’ll also find books, games, and puzzles for the whole family to enjoy.
Pet-Friendly (One Dog Only): We welcome one dog up to 60 lbs with a $150 pet fee per stay, which helps cover additional cleaning.

    We had a nice overall stay here with our family. The location is very convenient—close to the airport, downtown, and an easy grocery stop. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen appliances were great, and the home was generally clean. The kids also loved the pool floaties. Communication with the host/property manager was excellent and very responsive. A few areas could be improved: the backyard needed more attention on arrival (there was a grease spill near the grill that required cleaning), and the pool heat we paid for didn’t fully warm up until later in the day. A few basics like salt and pepper were missing despite being listed, and the hot tub ran extremely hot and was hard to regulate. Overall, a good stay in a great location with a responsive host, with a few details to improve.

    We really enjoy the stay for our 2 year old weekend getaway trip. Great location, easy to access everywhere. We love the pool, so convenient and clean. The only thing is the location is near the airport, that we constantly hear the airplane noise, but didn’t get bother that much. Thanks for the host, super clear instructions and responsive all the time!

    We had a lovely weekend stay at this Airbnb! Our host was extremely responsive, which we really appreciated. The house overall was great especially the beautiful outdoor space. The pool, spa, and hammocks made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. There were a few minor issues during our stay. The fridge had some cracks on the inside, which we let the host know about right away, and the dishwasher wasn't working, though that didn’t impact us much. Our main concern was the air conditioning in the bedrooms. While the central AC was functioning, the cool air didn’t seem to reach the bedrooms well, making them quite hot and slightly uncomfortable, especially overnight. We didn’t bring it up during the stay since it was a short visit, but it’s worth noting for future guests. Despite those small hiccups, we had a great time and really enjoyed the space. With a couple of updates, this place would be nearly perfect. We would book again!
