Summary: Our two month stay was amazing. The location was great.. It was close to grocery stores, great restaurants and just a short drive to beaches. The host was very quick to tend to any needs . The fenced in back yard was great for our dog and to just sit a relax. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Chris for being such a great host.
