Most vacation rentals by owner that I had stayed at previously were intended for renting. This property actually was a family home. This actually made us feel a little uneasy initially. We finally settled in by the second night. Our biggest complaint was there was no coffee maker. They did leave some toiletries in the bathroom but I would recommend they also leave some shampoo. Otherwise our stay was great and the family was very friendly. I would suggest anyone to use their home just be aware that this truly is a family home.
