The house was beautiful, very clean, and in a great location. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and were satisfied with the property.One small suggestion would be to upgrade some of the kitchen cutlery, particularly the knives, as they could be sharper for food preparation.Other than that, everything was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this place to others.

The place was amazing. The hot tub was used as per instructions. The house was beautiful.
6 / 10Average·May 2022
When we got in the house had a stagnant smell. Like it hadn't been cleaned or aired out in a while. We had to go buy air fresheners and carpet deodorizers. The cooking pans had peeling Teflon and I had to rewash all the utensils. The shower had a bad smell too and some mold on it. The house was large and the pool table was really fun.
