- Quiet, peaceful street
- Beautiful setting with very high hedges surrounding the property, providing complete privacy from neighbors.
- Lush, verdant backyard with pool, hot tub, firepit, hammocks and lounge chairs.
- Bright, sunlight home with plenty of windows and skylights.
- Comfortable, spacious interior with good size rooms. Master BR, 2 smaller BRs. Living room, family room and 3 TVs. 2 full bathrooms.
- Beds were comfy.
- Ample supply of bathroom towels, beach towels, sheets and pillows..
Cons: (Note: These are all relatively minor.)
- WiFi spotty
- Softsoap handsoap was the only soap in the two bathrooms.
- Haphazard (but serviceable) array of plates and utencils.
- Food left in fridge, presumably from previous renters.
- Some may be confused by the description of the sleeping accommodations. Just to be clear, there are 3BRs. Beyond that, there's a mattress that can go on the floor of the living or family room and a sofa, which some may not find suitable for sleeping.
Overall:
Highly recommended,
We stayed for a week, spent most of our time in the gorgeous backyard enjoying the pool, jacuzzi, hammocks and fire pit.
Great walking/bike trails, easy drive to the zoo, wharf and beach. John was a wonderful host. I would definitely return!
The pictures accurately depict a wonderful house and pool. We enjoyed our time there. I will also add that john was very helpful in helping me clear up a reservation issue, along with the other stuff we connected with him on. Thanks John!
