Carrie is the perfect host! She went above and beyond to make sure that my family had everything we needed during our stay! Especially if you have young children, I highly recommend this home! There was no need to pack really anything other than our clothes, because Carrie took care of everything else for us, including all of the odds and ends children usually require. The home is located in an absolutely beautiful neighborhood, breathtaking views from the back porch, especially as the sun sets, and it is within 10-30 minutes of everything you could need or want (including the beach, airport, zoo, farmers market, lake, restaurants, and more). The pool, spa, playground, and fruit trees, all on the premises, were icing on the cake. We had an unforgettable family vacation!
