So gay! In all the best ways.
I knew I was in the right place the moment I pulled up, with pride flags and rainbow gnomes gracing Bill's front yard. I opened the gate to find a rainbow wonderland. I met Bill immediately upon arrival. He's a kind and gracious host, his home and yard are beautiful, and the casita was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire table, and the bed was very comfortable. Forgot some toiletries, snacks, or beverages? No worries, Bill has you covered. He's even provided robes and slippers, for your convenience. Would definitely stay again.

THE BEST HOST EVER!!!
William was more than accommodating for my stay his property was immaculately cleaned and his personal touches were fabulous. He was more than hospitable with snacks and drinks in the fridge and even gave recommendations for food and grocery shopping in the area. He was very responsive through the app and text message regarding using the amenities and when I had an emergency and needed to change my stay he was so pleasant to deal with. If i could I would come back to this Vrbo every time I travel. I've never had such a great experience and the pictures and description of the property as well as location do not do it justice.

Promising Private Stay
Host communicated well, and he was available if we had any questions during our stay. The house itself was well maintained and had many accommodations, but surrounding neighborhoods were not completely desirable.
The Casita has a truly unique setup, and the outdoor area is a perfect, private oasis with offerings of a pool, hot tub area, outdoor canopy bed, outdoor shower, and several options for seating, including around a fire pit.

Lovely place
It was a short great day. I was visiting for a concert. The place was beautiful in the yard, the swimming pool, the inside decorating. Those are really responsive and really friendly when I met them in person.

Amazing stay
Beautiful home and beautiful casita as well and it’s very friendly and wonderful atmosphere and the host is such an amazing person. I highly recommend Willy’s inn for everyone who want a vacay. The place is very cleaned and modern and as well very supplied.
