Greatest thing about the place was the location - just about perfect for us - close to the Mesa Lane Steps and the Douglas Family Preserve. Also very easy to drive to those places away from the general neighborhood when we wanted to.Never met the "host," which was a management company of some sort, but never really needed to. Did not meet owners of the house to which the VRBO property was attached, but never really needed. Although there were six different ways to make coffee (always a big plus), the kitchen was underequipped for any substantive food preparation. It likely would have been fine for a shorter stay, say a long weekend, but for us at two weeks it was bit of a problem.

We enjoyed the patios, the landscaping around the house. It was close to everything with a car. The washer and dryer is shared with owner but was absolutely not a problem. Watch the step on the way around the garage to the front door. Very enjoyable week.

Loved It

We adored this place for our three night stay. It was conveniently located and suited our needs, plus it was charming! The four star for cleanliness was only for the washer, which had a lot of dog hair in it. We enjoyed our time and would, without a doubt, sentry here again!
