Liz house was so beautiful and comfortable , and has all the necessary commodities that you need in a mountain.
We had a great time, it's a real retreat , we loved the fire place , it was so cozy and relaxing just sitting next to it .
If you really want to relax far from the stress of the city , with all the comfort you could imagine in the Catskills, don't hesitate to chose Liz place .
Thank you for trusting us with your home, we will be back for sure !
We had great communication with Liz before and during her family's stay at our beach condo. Liz is very friendly and easy to work with. Her family truly enjoyed their beach vacation. We would happily host Liz and her lovely family again.

Feedback for Jon and Ying·Non-Reciprocal exchange·7 nights
Jon and Ying were incredibly welcoming, helpful and gave great recommendations. Their Sandestin beach condo was everything we hoped for and more! Lovely, well appointed and everything we needed for a fantastic spring break trip with our two little ones. They had an amazing time taking the very short walk to the beach and the pool was heated to a perfect temp that made it possible to swim every day and evening even though the temps outside varied. The condo felt so nice my kids started calling it a “contel” because all the amenities made it feel more like we were staying in a hotel. We would visit again in a heartbeat! Thank you for everything Jon and Ying - we couldn’t have had a better experience.
