Had a wonderful stay! The pictures lived up to the quality, which I find very rare with vacation rental.I was definitely impressed. Smooth check-in process. Had everything you would need for a short stay! The only critique I would give is the cleaner showed up 30 minutes before check out and sat in the driveway the whole time me and my boyfriend were packing up. would prefer the privacy in that time.
