About this property

Relaxing Retreat w/ Heated Pool, near Golf, Hiking, Sports Stadiums and more…

~~WELCOME HOME~~

Your quiet oasis awaits!! Enjoy the private backyard with large pool (heat during October-April is an additional charge).

The entire home will be yours including the fenced in backyard with a private swimming pool, BBQ, Fire pit w/ Pergola for shade, grassy play area and covered patio area. This house is a spacious open concept 2200sqft, 4 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom. Kitchen is equipped with essentials including coffee and tea to get you started. Two office spaces if you need to work while traveling as well. The house has everything you need from bedding to towels, pots and pans/dishes, patio furniture, pool floaties and much more. We hope you enjoy unwinding in the backyard as much as we do.

This house has a ring camera/doorbell at the front door and the house has a keyless entry. The entry code will be provided prior to your arrival. There is a ring security camera covering the backyard as well. There are no interior security cameras to protect your privacy.

**Pool Heat is an additional $50/night cost to cover natural gas expenses and must be paid prior to check-in. If you would like the pool heated during your stay please let us know at least 1 day before you arrive.
We try to maintain a very comfortable 80-84 degrees. Even though the pool is heated automatically, on cold nights the pool can still drop in temperature sometimes into the 70° 's which some can consider cold so the heater will take time to bring it back up to temperature.

There is no doubt that this location is the nicest VRBO that our family and friends have ever stayed in and all of the trips we’ve taken across the nation. Kim was exceptional in her communication and her preparation for our arrival. I wholeheartedly recommend this location as a five star premium site for your family and friends to enjoy!

Fantastic Spring Break getaway!

This house is EXACTLY as pictured. It's lovely and spacious! Our family stayed here for a week for our son's college spring break and we had a fantastic time. The home is a bit of a drive from most things, but we wanted to be close to family, so we chose this house. It's in a sweet little neighborhood with a park nearby as well as grocery store and WalMart within 15 minutes, so it's still convenient enough to grab anything you need. The pool and back yard is fantastic. Kim was also kind enough to heat the pool for us - which we definitely appreciated when the wind kicked up and it was cold! We loved our stay and hope to be back again!!
