Beautiful home, kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. Hot tub and pool was very nice. The only downside is the limited amount and quality of paper goods and soaps. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable.

We appreciate you being a guest of ours at Happy Ours and for your feedback on your stay. Our company supplies a starter kit of disposable items for your stay. This is a complementary set of paper products and soaps that are meant to assist with the check-in until the guest is able to purchase what they will need for the remainder of their stay. For your shopping convenience we do explain this in the check-in instructions so you can better prepare for your visit. Our team and the owners will be "happy" to hear that you found the home to be five stars! Sunny Regards, FDR Team
