The home is just like it is pictured. No surprises. Lots of extra special and thoughtful features abound. Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable. We’d rent again if we ever come back to the area.
We stayed for the month of March and really enjoyed every minute. The location is very close to Shamrock Park and shopping but also is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house was super clean and organized. We cook at home a lot during our stay and this is the best stocked kitchen we've ever found. The cookware, dishes, utensils and appliances were in excellent condition. The bikes and beach chairs are in tip top shape as well. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We're so pleased that we booked for next year.
Had a terrible mishap but the owners and manager were great!

Yes we did have a situation that was out of our hands. Sadly it happened to this great group and our first guests on this platform. Thanks for leaving an honest review Kristen!
