The house was in a great location, with plenty of room, the house was clean and the bedrooms all had AC which was nice. There isn't much furniture and some of the deck chairs were little precarious but the house was perfect for our visit and we would book again. Thanks!

Biggest downside was the linens. No dish towel in the kitchen. Only one washcloth per 2 towels. Bedspread was the cover and would have been good but the filling had migrated to one side during washing so one half was a sheet weight while the other was too warm. Dishwasher not functioning correctly; soap didn’t dissolve, only the plastic wrapper. The air conditioning was just in the bedrooms so the Living room got toasty. Otherwise a nice space where family could gather under one roof.

Hello Beverly, Thank you so much for choosing to stay at our place and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate you pointing out the issues you noticed, and we will work on addressing them as soon as possible. Regarding the AC, we are planning to install new AC units in the living room after we replace the older windows, which currently do not allow us to install the units properly. Thank you again for being our guest. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. We’ll continue making improvements and adding more amenities to make your next stay even more comfortable.
