We so enjoyed our stay, the accommodations, the location, the communication with the owner and backup person that we booked for 7 weeks 2027. The backyard and patio were large, perfect for sitting, reading and letting the dog wander to his hearts content. The front yard and rear landscape were so pleasing to the eye. Having a garage is always a positive. The neighborhood is pleasantly walkable. A coffee shop and two excellent restaurants are just a few blocks away. This rental is more than deserving of the five stars.
