Joan is impeccably clean—what a relief to have a host with such high standards of cleanliness! You can trust your stay will be perfectly lovely—from the gardens, the furnishings, and the home’s beautiful layout. It was so relaxing/rejuvenating to be here for the month. The home is 10 minutes from EVERYWHERE so you really can hit Costco, Whole Foods, Super Wal-mart in mere minutes. Nearby trails are fun and became a daily ritual for us. Tennis courts are a quick 5 minute bike-ride away down a bike trail. The kids enjoyed it immensely. Thank you Joan!!! Loved it and HIGHLY recommend!!
