Great vacation!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
I’ve seen many properties over the years and I have to say that this was the absolute best experience. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, and we all agreed it was such an easy and seamless process to check in and check out. The property was in great shape and there are zero complaints.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2025
The mattress in the master bedroom was extremely soft and uncomfortable. We were asked to put the towels in the washer and start the load, but there were no operating instructions. It's located across the street from a shopping plaza which is convenient but also results in a lot of traffic. I thought that it was over priced when compared to hotels in the area. With that being said it was clean and convenient for a group.
