The unit was as listed. No surprises. The property was clean and comfortable. It did have a stocked kitchen, however we did not use it because we ate out all meals.Communications with the host were timely. The area the property is located felt safe and quiet. We enjoyed the access to the water very nearby along with the local downtown area where we found very good food, small shops where we shopped a little and the people were very friendly.

Fully-stocked kitchen and comfortable space for the two of us. Linens were showing some age/wear and we struggled a bit with the door lock, but that may have been user error. Overall, great location with a beautiful view and close proximity to restaurants and shops.

The home was as expected. The house was clean, and communication was prompt. We loved the location since we could walk to town and explore for the day. We could also have drinks in town and walk back to the house. The river view was exceptional. We hope to be back.

Our stay was lovely. I definitely overpacked not realizing so many things would've been provided. The place was clean, warm, and cozy. We did a lot of cooking so having a nice full kitchen was perfect. The neighborhood was really nice for our walks, lots of christmas lights and even a pony for a nearby neighbor. We mostly stayed in watched movies and played board games since we came in the off season. I was surprised to find that the showers were attached to two large tubs which were perfect for a good soak.

Cons: There were too many remotes.I had some trouble finding the right one for the Roku. There were two; only one worked. Also, there were was a universal remote that didn’t seem to control anything and a separate remote for the surround sound. After some finagling, I narrowed down the correct remote for the TV and Roku. There were no instructions left on how to work the fireplace. That would have been a nice touch as the nights were a little crisp during our stay. There was a dirty load of laundry in washer and items in the dryer when we arrived. It might be worth checking out the door casing leading to the deck because, there were ants in the house. None of the above are deal breakers at all. Pros:Easy check in/ check outPlenty of kitchen appliances/ gadgets, spices , etcPlenty of extra linens Very clean upon arrival Excellent amenities overall.
