Coastal Kiwiana - Hilltop Views!

AllisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Not easy to find a great house for 6 people and a dog. This house was great! Our multi-generational group included 3 teenagers, an 81 year old, and a golden retriever. The house was cozy, perfectly clean, and very easy and comfortable for all of us. We got plenty of use out of the great poker chip set and the wood burning stove. Sad to leave. Meg was an excellent host. Very responsive and flexible, and provided a terrific goody basket which was a great surprise. Would definitely recommend this house and would stay again.
