The host communicated well on everything to expect at the house and it all went smoothly. A very easy check in and check out. The host had a large selection of things you might need in case you forgot them. The home was nicely decorated, and had room for a large family. There was also a fenced in backyard with a very pleasant seating area and fire pit. We had our pups with us and really enjoyed the dedicated run space outside for them. We will definitely stay again when we’re in the area and I would fully recommend for anyone else who’s interested.
Host left us a wonderful Halloween treat upon arrival. The home was lovely and perfect for extended family stay in the Del Ray area. The yard and deck are wonderful for relaxing outside - everything inside was as expected. We visit this area every year for Halloween and this place is our # 1 place for next year! Thank you hosts for a wonderful stay and great communication throughout !
