Wonderful stay and highly recommended. We were here for my son’s Navy Bootcamp graduation with blended family. It was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone to have private time. The home was beautiful and spotless. Very comfortable stay.

Staying here blessed our family so much. Having such a short precious time with our sailor made it critical to choose the right place. A home away from home feeling, plenty of room and all the comforts you could hope for. The spa hot tub and private backyard was absolutely wonderful for us all! A place to rest and reconnect, making the time together so special. Communication with the owner went beyond the details...he was so kind and empathetic to our situation as a family and attended to any needs or questions we had. Truly a gift we will always cherish, thank you!!! Absolutely recommend!!

Great place to get the family together for the weekend. For us we needed a place because it was Navy Graduation for our Son. Property was great, hosts put in the extra effort to make sure there were nice extras to ensure we had a great stay. The pool is as pictured and we really really loved getting outside and enjoying it with family! Everything we needed was there, fully stocked kitchen, hosts had coffee and even breakfast food with eggs and bacon we forgot from the store. Host was available for any questions we had via app or by text. I’d stay in this house again for sure! We had two babies with us and house was great for them too, lots of playgrounds nearby too plus very close to Navy graduation (less than 15 minutes with traffic).

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had nice amenities. The host was also very responsive and easy to communicate with.The location was convenient and close to the base for my daughter’s naval graduation, which made things much easier for us.The host disclosed after booking that he lived onsite, which I misunderstood at the time. It would have been helpful for that to be clearly outlined as the host actually living in the house, to avoid any confusion.Aside from that, everything else was a positive experience.

The house is very nice and clean. Location was great for attending my grandson's Navy graduation. With that being said I do have some negatives about my family's stay. First of all, the listing states "Entire Home" that is not accurate. The host notified me they lived "on site", I evidently misinterpreted that they meant they would actually be in the house. Some of my family did not feel comfortable with that but it was too late at the time we arrived to make changes. It is not that they bothered us, and we never saw them while we were there. However, it was evident they came into at least the kitchen when we were out. Except for the day we arrived, every time we returned there was an extremely strong curry odor that would almost knock you over when opening the door. It gave you a sickening feeling until we located air freshener to dissipate it. Also, it is very inconvenient to have to go upstairs or downstairs to the bathroom, since there was not one on the main level of the home.If the issues I mentioned are not a concern for you, then the actual home is very nicely decorated and clean.
