"Enjoyed that the rooms have been updated small details not taken care of …can’t use bath tub drain stopper does not work tub does not hold water…bath room could use more hooks to hang towels …amenities were stocked for one guest … Pool was unappetizing with large patches of peeling paint on the bottom which appeared rusty … The day we checked out the cleaning staff came in before 11am while we were out to breakfast…"

"This was one of the most thoughtful host and comfortable homes I’ve experienced in my vacation travels. The host communicated very effectively, there were lovely treats left for us at the house and there was nothing we needed that we didn’t have. The home is very comfortable, the kitchen perfectly stocked and the outdoor space was very comfortable. Couldn’t have been more happy or comfortable."
