Family vacation! This was our Christmas gift to our Alabama family.
We really enjoyed the sparkling clean pool, especially our 10 year old grandson. We had a little problem and Thelma and her husband were very quick to help us. They were very nice to work with.

Oasis at Hernando
We loved our stay! Thelma was great, she communicated wonderfully with any questions or concerns. We loved our stay at her home, this is our 3rd going to the area to go scalloping and by far the best place we have stayed via ! Thank you so much for sharing your home with our family!
