Great Stay - quiet location - comfy

A great place to relax, nice and quiet. I was confused by the written listing - I thought it read there were 2 toilets for the 3 bedroom house however there was only 1.
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2025
Thank you for your kind words—I'm so glad you enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Regarding the toilet, the listing does specify that there is one bathroom with a corner spa bath, shower and vanity and a separate toilet with a basin, not a second toilet. I understand there may have been some confusion, but I’ve double-checked the wording to ensure it accurately reflects the layout. I do appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back sometime in the future! Warm regards, Debbie
