Clean cozy felt like grandma’s house. It smelled like it to . Clean and beautiful but needs to be deodorized. Just that old musty smell. Otherwise it was perfect. Host is amazing. Highly recommended.

We came here on a girls’ trip. It was nice to each have our own rooms. We enjoyed sitting up on the deck and floating in the pool. It had many amenities. Location is good for getting to all of the places we planned to go. The only “drawback” is that the two front bedrooms have some traffic noise. However there were fans that helped with white noise that blocked it and one of the girls had a noise machine.

Nice property. Was listed as 5 actual beds but there was only 4. Host said the 5th was an air mattress but property listing showed an actual bed. There was a pull out couch but it was old and very uncomfortable.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 17, 2026
This is indicated in my listing properly. It states that there are 4 bedrooms with a bed in each. An air mattress is a bed and so is a pull out couch bed. They are just not in bedrooms. Clearly, the guest did not understand this when booking the house.

Everything was exactly as described and met the needs of our entire group. It took us a moment to locate the air mattress for the office, but we eventually found it. The place is very nice, and I am sure that if our group returns for the same event next year, there will be interest in staying again.

Four children in the house ages 7 to 12 and they all stay busy. Loved that they were options of shampoo and soaps available for use. It was nice that there was kitchen stables, such as flower sugar, and spices. My daughter stated it was the most stopped VRBO she had ever stayed in.
