Terrific VRBO!
The place was super clean and very well stocked. The access was very easy and timely. No fuss, no muss. The bed comfy..the view terrific...We were happily surprised to find a dog crate so didn't have to set up ours. Loved the suitcase holders, pinion coffee supplied with cream and sugar and the parking was ample and well lighted. Can't think of any way to make it better! Great value and a lovely place to hang your hat:). Thank you!
