Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We were there first ever renters and it was great to have people that were eager to hear what people that frequently rent homes would want and need. The mattresses were very nice which isn't something we find often. There was a lot of parking which was great because we were there working the jacuzzi was also fantastic in the kitchen is sparkling new!We will be back next year.
