Karen’s place is a beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. The photos definitely do not do this place justice! We came with our family of 6 and enjoyed every min of this great place. I absolutely loved the kitchen space and the kitchen equipment available. Karen was really responsive and friendly! I’m very picky with cleanliness and Karen’s place was very clean which made our stay so much more relaxing. Highly recommend staying at Karen’s place!
