Tyler S.

This place was amazing for my family and I. We had a a wonderful experience here. I initially booked a different property and that other property was disgusting and not clean. I got in touch with Laila and booked her place and it was immaculate. She saved the day with this place. It’s clean and perfect for families staying long term. I will stay there again without a doubt. It was all around a great experience!

Ali R.

We stayed here for a family emergency. The owner accommodated us last minute and was very responsive and kind. The place was comfortable and perfectly suited to accommodate our needs with a a toddler and several adults. Very safe location. I am from the area and have many friends in the neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again

Michelle A.

This was a lovely house with pretty much everything you would need, plus extras. The beds were very comfortable and there are plenty of pillows and extra blankets if needed. The kitchen and supplies are great. Certainly not a complaint, but I am always requested by my son to cook for him when I visit, so if you are making a large quantity, bring a couple of your own larger pots/pans. We absolutely loved the screened in porch and the backyard for cornhole (they supplied). The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. The golf course is literally around the corner which was great for a Saturday round! We came to spend time with each other and we had a great time in a great home to do just that. I highly recommend this home!

Amber P.

We had an amazing week staying at this airbnb. It was perfect for our whole family to gather at for Spring Break and visiting with my son and his family that live on base. The kids enjoyed the pool and kayaking so much! It was spacious and set up very nicely. Laila responded very quickly to a couple of minor questions we had and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I highly recommend and would book this space again.

Willona E.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we booked to the time we checked out, Laila was phenomenal. Communication was seamless, timely, and very helpful every step of the way. The property itself exceeded our expectations; beautiful, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, which made it perfect for a relaxing family getaway. There were truly no complaints at all. My entire family loved the home, and we’re already looking forward to planning another trip here. Highly recomm!!!
