The home was very spacious for our family and our toddler. The beds were really comfortable and the restrooms were really clean! I loved the kitchen and that it had everything we needed, it was stocked with plates, silverware, pots, etc. If you are staying during the summer I recommend requesting fans as the house gets warm (no seriously, really warm) and there is NO AC system. There were a few things that needed minor repairs; like the sliding door screen had a tear at the bottom, the lights bulbs for the backyard needed replacing, and the blinds or curtains as well. The floor creaks a lot … I mean like with every step. But to be honest, despite the reviews, it didn’t bother us from sleeping or having a good time. Management is very responsive and does its best to be helpful and that’s something that I really appreciated! Literally a message away! The location is really nice and check out was easy.

A very beautiful, very clean, and very large house. I didn't like that they claim to have three bathrooms but only have two open, but overall it's a lovely house with super comfortable beds.

I won’t bury the lede here, the house is creaky. Like (almost) comically creaky nearly every step you take. That aside, the house was clean and spacious and looked as described. Kitchen was helpfully stocked with staples. All beds were comfy! The back deck looks over a beautiful green space filled with trees. We need to spent a short time cleaning the back patio table and chairs as we like to spend time outside. That may have been an oversight with the cleaners. Overall we enjoyed the home and space and had a very pleasant vacation!
