Served our needs well. Great outdoor and plenty of yard for the kids

I'd like to say that we would give this house a 4.5! It was perfect for us and the pups. Fun location. You thought of many things-nice towels, dog friendly floors, pet trash in the yard, lots of hooks and closets. Several suggestions- warmer bed blankets, it was cold when we were there. You need a big pot and fry pan. Directions for the TV. We WILL rent this house again!!! Thank You!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
Enjoyed the views and the rooms were nice. Outside was very charming but feel the inside has so much potential. Furniture in living room could be more comfortable and inviting. We had been forewarned about potential insects due to the weather. But the biggest issue was cockroaches in the kitchen. We also couldn’t find the living room remote and reported it. We could use the bedroom remote instead but they didn’t deliver a new one until two days later.
