Rebecca E.Poway, CA
Mary and Larry’s house was by far the most comfortable and charming VRBO home we have ever stayed in. The views are breathtaking. The accommodations are perfect for extended family. My mother-in-law was very content in her downstairs master suite. Our college aged sons had their own bedrooms and family room upstairs. My husband and I enjoyed the view from our upstairs master bedroom. We all commented on how comfortable the beds were. We slept like babies!
We spent our days kayaking, paddle boarding, walking country roads, and cooking in the wonderful kitchen. Every night we watched the sun dip down into the “rivah.” We took some of the most spectacular sunset photos ever.
Kilmarnock is only a fifteen minute drive. There are plenty of grocery stores to get provisions.
In short, we loved staying here and hope to rent from Mary and Larry again.
Stayed June, 2018
Rebecca and her family were absolutely perfect guests, and we would highly recommend them to other hosts. It was great meeting everyone and hope to see them again!
