Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Exceeded our expectations. Beautifully decorated and very well maintained. Stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Early breakfast on the veranda, looking over the river or sitting cozy with one of Val's books, made a very restfull mini-holiday. The Host is full of stories from a life of adventure. The home, away from home, is conveniently located to many charming coastal and historic areas.
