Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s worn and dated but comfortable. Everything costs a lot these days but we are grateful there are people who are willing to share their home with us and our poodles. We forgot to bring our own linens. We always stay in places that include linens. It doesn’t seem too much to expect that so just know it’s for basic needs and you provide the rest. Linens, towels, foil, plastic wrap, dish soap etc.
