Pre-Cruise Vacation

We had a wonderful night staying at this house before our cruise. Everything in the house was as advertised on the listing. The house was perfect for our group. The kids all loved the game room and that was nice to have something to keep them entertained. The host was extremely quick with responses to questions and communication in general. I would highly recommend this listing to any large group.

Family pre Cruise stay

The property was as described minus some updates that could have been addressed prior to our arrival. Our concerns were mentioned to the owner and his response was very quick and appreciated.Overall, the house was very comfortable and welcoming. There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to sleep well and we did. The kids loved there game room and all the beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of cookware and utensils to prepare our meals which was convenient and great.My only suggestion is to fix the issues that were mentioned upon arrival because, the property has a nice home feeling. Lastly, the pool Owl gave me the creeps LOL. One minute its looking to the right, 2nd minute its looking to the left, 3rd minute its looking straight at me LOL. Maybe I had one to many Vodka on the rocks LOL.Continue to be Blessed.Thanks
