The house was very clean and worked perfectly for the 6 of us that stayed. the pricing was reasonable, and the hosts were very responsive. The only (minor) issue were the free-range roosters. I guess one of the houses had some nearby, and the roosters kind of wandered around the neighborhood. If you're a morning person (like me), it won't cause an issue, but I know a couple of the guys I stayed with were a little annoyed being woken up at 5/6 AM on the weekend.

We stayed here while relocating from New Jersey to Florida and it was the perfect spot for our family of five and our large dog. It was also conveniently close to our new home so we could handle some last minute moving details. The fenced backyard was great for the kids, and the porch was a peaceful place to sit with coffee and listen to the rain. The neighborhood is quaint with lots of character (including some friendly roosters). It was also close to grocery stores, coffee, and great local restaurants. Andrea and Danny were very responsive, the house was clean, and it was well stocked with towels and kitchen essentials. Their neighbor Bill was also very kind and helped us retrieve a dog toy my kids tossed over the fence. We would definitely stay here again.
