If you have a special event and want the most beautiful house on the block, this one is it! My wedding party stayed here and absolutely loved it. It was squeaky clean and has perfect spots for before-wedding photos. We also needed an additional outdoor grill and they graciously accommodated us and had one delivered to the back patio. We loved this house and will recommend to ANYONE getting married in the area!

Our stay at Anthony’s home was just perfect for our family! We arrived late in the evening. It was so easy to get inside! Bed linens and towels were clean and great quality! We didn’t eat in much, but when we did, there was ample kitchen supplies for us! Perfect walkable location to coffee shops and breakfast! The communication was fantastic! Would definitely stay here and again and also highly recommended!!
