"VRBO was a bit difficult to obtain information from, however Rachel was very helpful and responsive. Very clean. Well stocked. Better than the description. Very difficult to locate, the listing was a different address than the actual address. We did not receive the key code until we called Rachel. Fire pit and grill was a nice touch. We would rent again. Smoke detectors were not present as others had acknowledged. Check out process was easy."
