Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental experience was outstanding....start to finish. Once we had booked the house, the communication from our hosts was straight forward. They answered any questions we had promptly. The moment we walked in the house we were impressed. A welcome basket with treats was a great touch, but the fact they had put milk and water in the fridge, that was service over and above. The whole experience was how we want on a relaxing, extended long weekend. We will be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our recent stay at Genesta street was lovely, I thought initially that being 2 properties on the one block this house would be small and uncomfortable. It was the opposite, plenty of space and many bedrooms for larger families , lots of natural light, air conditioning, clean linen and the location is absolutely perfect! I wish it was my own house, will 100% be rebooking. Thankyou for an effortless stay, from booking, checking in and arriving. Didn’t want to leave.
