All we had to go by were the VRBO description , numerous enticing photos, plus a very warm and informative long distance talk with the owner. So we were enthused and cautiously optimistic. We were thrilled when everything turned out as first-rate as described, so much so that our stay really was greater than we anticipated.The home is new, tastefully decorated, very well equipped with everything guests would need. Two bicycles were also included, and riding the flat streets in this quiet subdivision was fun and safe. And the pool was very welcomed during a long stretch of low-mid 80s in January and February. Calling any home a gem is a bit ambitious, but this one lived up to that descriptor!
