"Michelle was so communicative and accommodating. We had such a wonderful time! My little guy was thrilled that there was a play structure on the property and LOVED playing with Michelle’s dog, Riley, who was always ready and waiting for my son to give him so pets and throw his stick. The tiny cabin was stocked with essentials and snacks, really anything that we might need for our stay. I would highly recommend Coral Tree House to anyone considering it! "
