★★★★★ "This is a great place to stay at, we will definitely be returning here again. The hot tub and HUGE pool was a 10/10. This is a very spacious house that includes many bed for a lot of people. I absolutely loved it here. Highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Todd!." - Nicole
★★★★★ "Todd was an amazing host and did everything and beyond his power to ensure my family had an amazing experience. This was by far one of our favorite family vacations as not only was the stay super comfortable and welcoming, but the house alone is enough to make an amazing experience. The house was a dream to stay in! And to top it off, the house is in a perfect location by restaurants and stores all within 5 minutes away. I would recommend Todd to anyone who asks, and thank you again for having us!" - Malak
