Great location! Very spacious! Impeccably clean! Wonderful amenities!

A lovely place to stay! The property was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again. My only critique is that the listing description does not mention that there are multiple units on the property and they share the outdoor space, spa tub/grill/fire pit, it turned out not to be a problem but was a surprise. Also to note is the non-smoking (including vapes) and no pets applies to the outside space as well as the understandable inside.

Great place! We really enjoyed our stay. Could have used hand towels in the kitchen. Otherwise everything was fine. Very cute and well-maintained.

We travel a lot and this house was the oddest experience I have ever had with VRBO.The good- the house is beautiful and clean. The weird/bad- Starts with check-in. The owner makes you send her a picture of your ID ahead of time. Then she makes you take a picture outside the unit before she will send you the door code on the arrival day. (Not having check-in info feels shady but I didn’t realize this was policy when booking) Check in is at 4:00. We went to the house, I sent my picture by the door and she didn’t respond. I called three times, my husband called, I texted. We got in the car to drive away and 20 mins after we arrived at the property she finally sent the door code. We did not get into the house until after 4:30. No apology, no acknowledgment of the delay, nothing. If you are that concerned about the identity of the renters checking in, I suggest meeting the renters in person. This experience was so unprofessional. Everyone needed to use the bathroom, we had been killing time for 2 hours until check in. I honestly started panicking thinking I had been completely ripped off by the owner/VRBO.Furthermore- The owner was totally confused and randomly showed up at the house the next day. She just walked in to the house and said who are you? I was very startled and said we are your tenants. She thought we had rented a smaller unit on the same property, which was wrong, we rented the 2 bedroom unit. This was just so odd/disorganized. I wouldn’t rent here again.
