"Amazing property with all the amenities you can ask for! The garage with the full laundry machine and all laundry materials included was so amazing!

The whole house was SO clean and stacked with towels and we really appreciate that!"

Resort Like Oasis: 7BR Home, Pool, Hot Tub & Bar

8/10 Good

"The 7 bedrooms accommodated our family of 15 very nicely and having half on each side of the house helped to provide areas of quiet when needed. The grandkids couldn’t wait to get in the pool each day after our adventures. There were plenty of life jackets on property which really helped. We also appreciated having baby items readily available so we didn’t have to rent. It was an oasis."
