I hosted out of town guests and we enjoyed the house. Mark was attentive and helped us out with a TV glitch that we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and we had plenty of towels. We used the deck, and enjoyed the neighborhood, but felt that the yard could have been maintained better.

Why they chose this property

The backyard is large and a plus for families with young children and/or a dog(s). The teak table and dining chairs on the back deck are a great place to relax outdoors or to barbecue on the gas grill.
