This property blew away all of my expectations. We have stayed in other rental properties in the area before and none of them came close to this oasis that Lee Ann has created. It’s absolutely perfect from top to bottom. She even decorated for the holidays and had a Christmas tree for us. I will definitely stay there again!

Property is newly refurnished and very beautiful. We enjoyed the back deck, which was very large and well furnished. The home had plenty of living space for our large party, with comfortable and spacious common areas on both floors of the house. Kitchen is well furnished with everything you need.
