We rented this house for our daughter so she and her boyfriend could get away and relax during a very busy work/internship/class summer. The house was everything listed and more. The hosts were very friendly and their dogs were adorable. The back yard offered a beautiful and relaxing setting.Overall, I highly recommend renting the unit. You won't be disappointed.
