    The house is even better than the description. The inside is decorated nicely. It was very clean, and had everything we needed. The pool is fantastic. Perfect for a girls trip. The cornhole and connect four was great. It is in a quiet neighborhood. Its very close to downtown - 3 to 5 min drive to the square. We will definitely book again.

    Everything about our stay was amazing. The hosts were great and had clear communication, the pool was beautiful, the inside of the house was beautiful. Everything was super clean. This has been my favorite short term rental so far. The only thing I wish the house had was exhaust fans in bathroom for when showering because it steams up pretty bad and some more frying pans preferably bigger ones but that’s just me being nit picky. Absolutely great place and would stay here over and over again.

    The house was wonderful for us. We wished the pool would have been clean so we could have enjoyed it It was on of the reason we booked the house for the kids to have something to do with down time before the wedding. Other than that the house and everything thing else was clean. We would book again if we are ever back that way.
