Communication was great. The only quibble I have is that it was through email and not the messaging portion within VRBO's app/website.House was nice, clean, convenient.

Beautiful property and perfect spot for our family trip. The three bedrooms and three baths were great for our adult children. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked. We also loved that we could walk to restaurants, shopping and to Sterns Wharf.
