When we say "home base," we mean it. This doesn't feel like a rental -- it's so easy to settle in and is incredibly well stocked, so anything you might need is readily at hand, just as if you were at home. The photos don't do the house justice -- it feels even more spacious than it looks, and the layout is open and airy, with high ceilings in the kitchen, breakfast bar island, and living room area. The beds are super comfortable, the pull-out couch is awesome. There are a ton of DVDs with a range of movies, a bunch of good books for vacation reading, a huge flat-screen TV and cable for those rainy (or just lazy!) days. Every closet revealed a new treasure trove of board games and any supplies you might need for your stay. We enjoyed our days off just as much as our days out -- you can't say that about a hotel room! The back deck overlooks a nice, private yard and is a lovely place to relax and read and enjoy the shade trees. The grill was big and good quality and easy to use. There are a washer and dryer if you need to do a load of clothes, and both bathrooms are large and well stocked with linens. Ginger even has a collection of travel shampoos and soaps in case you forget your own! She's thought of everything. The location was terrific, convenient to everything. We can't emphasize enough how delighted we were with our stay!
