December 2023

All was good with the exception of not having television service which was why I chose to go…to watch college bowl games on New Year’s Eve weekend. The description states that Wi-Fi service would be sporadic but there was no mention that there was no cable TV service in the area. In fact the amenities section listed television. I have discussed this concern with the owner Mark and asked him to consider an adjustment in our charges. The description should be revised as well to reflect the “no cable service” in the home. Other than this issue, I would recommend renting this home. It is spacious and the furniture is comfortable and the decks offer amazing views during the day and night.
