We stayed at this house for a week and worked remotely there part of the time. The master bedroom was incredibly comfortable and we had great internet speeds for working and a great workspace area in the dining room. We also brought our two dogs. There was a really nice backyard for them. I would 100% stay here again. Property owner also had plenty of toilet paper, garbage bags, toiletries, etc. If you have a small dog, the front gate is high enough a dog could escape. We put a rock in front of it while we were there. The pool guy also keeps a bucket behind the shed that my dogs found. We flipped that over to keep them out. Otherwise, no complaints at all. We very much enjoyed our stay and how convenient it was to the city.

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for our needs. It has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved the backyard and wish we had room for our cornhole set in the car because that would have been even better. Our dog likes to try and escape fences and had no luck here. We felt she was very secure when we let her out. The location was great and it was nice to have a parking spot in the driveway. There was also available street parking. We hope to stay there again in the future.
