Very clean, quiet, and charming. I enjoyed the quiet and having everything available that we could possibly need (even spare readers, thank you!!!) for a weekend of R&R. Dogs LOVED the fenced yard to run free and the host was very responsive. I would stay here again if returning to the area. Just a lovely and peaceful stay, Thank you!

Perfect house for our family
Beautifully decorated older 3BR house. We loved the layout and the fenced in yard for our dog. The owner has thought of everything one might need for a short stay. The house had comfortable beds and up to date appliances. Good location—our only negative was that we were hoping we could walk to the beach but it was a little too far so we drove. Otherwise, a nice relaxing few days and we would stay here again.

Wonderful Vacation House
The whole process was very easy. Brenda was responsive and helpful! The house was very kid friendly with board games, books, etc. and really made our kids feel at home. Also, there are tons of playgrounds near this house so there was always a new place to check out. Overall, the house w!s a joy to stay at!

Beautiful home
We loved staying here! The fully fenced in yard was great and very private. We travel with our 2 large dogs who loved to play in the yard. Beds are very comfortable and the decor of the home is beautiful. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a full meal. Location is great close to parks and the lake. Just a short drive to all attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
Hi and welcome to Always Vacation Rentals. I enjoy having many different homes to share with my guests. I love to decorate each one of my homes into what I call "flavors" each home stands out on its own. My husband and I love to design, and bring these homes to life and then we have the pleasure of sharing them with you. I hope you enjoy your stay and see the pride we have in each one of our homes.

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this home, I knew I had to have it! The style was just so cool, and I could immediately picture all the ways to bring it to life. I’ve put so much love into making it a warm, fun, and inviting space—I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

What makes this property unique

This charming bungalow-style home offers three spacious bedrooms and, after a big remodel, now includes two full bathrooms for added comfort. The dining space is perfect for gathering, and the cozy sitting area in the kitchen is the best spot to start your day with a cup of coffee—especially with our great coffee bar!

The backyard is truly a bonus, offering plenty of space to relax and unwind. The patio is a highlight, complete with a BBQ for outdoor meals, and the fully fenced-in yard makes for the perfect playground for your dog to run freely. Plus, no stay is complete without evenings around the firepit, enjoying good company under the stars.

Conveniently located near parks, bike paths, and just down the road from the beaches, this home is the perfect getaway spot. Thank you for choosing Always Vacation Rentals—we hope you have a wonderful stay!
