Andrew was very accommodating. We let us check in a day earlier than planned. The house was wonderful we spent most of our time on the balcony by the kitchen. Wonderful view, plenty of space for everyone and the pool was a bit hit. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful home

This home was very well built and has beautiful touches throughout. It is very large, clean and well furnished, with plenty of parking. Every single room of this home has direct access to a deck! It was a bit too cool to use the pool, but it was clean. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lots of room and good location

Great older home needs a little TLC as many things were not operating correctly such as the dishwasher, garbage disposal, some doors, jacuzzi tub and TVs/wi-fi, light bulbs, etc. The elevator was a plus for elderly renter.

Thank you for staying with us and thankyou for the feedback. We were not aware that you were having issues with some of the items. We sent the tech who fixed the dishwasher issue, and we resolved the leak from the garbage disposal. T.V. wifi is provided by mediacom and should always be operating as should, or we can call there technical support team. Lights bulbs are a quick fix as well! We are glad overall you enjoyed your stay and rest assured we will make sure all of the above has been taken care of!

Good place

Good place to stay that matched our budget. Had a small issue that the property manager took care of within a reasonable time frame. The house is in a good quiet location with plenty of space. The house could use a little tlc but nothing that would turn me away from booking.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug 2023
Hey thank you so much for staying with us and taking time to leave you. The checkout and check in instructions is supposed to be automatically sent through VRBO when you book through them. Not sure what happened but sometimes we get that from interest at the access information or check out instructions through their platform was not received or people logged into the wrong email address. This house is new to the rental market and we will work on getting a separate set of instructions laminated on the refrigerator. All that is required is that you leave and have a smile on your face! We will take care of the rest. Thanks again we hope to see you again soon.

Stunning Sunsets

Our stay was incredible and the home met every expectation. 3 floors with ample space allowed for gatherings and alone time. The home was clean and the location was great. The elevator was very handy. We had a few minor service issues that were resolved satisfactorily. Sunsets were simply stunning. Thank you!

Our contact Realtor was excellent. He was very responsive to our needs. The house was perfect for the space we needed. However…It really needs a refurbishing of everything and a deep cleaning. Shower heads unreliable , sinks that don’t drain, doors not working, kitchen needs organization, purging, and replacing with necessary tools. Not enough linens in the kitchen, guest bath (none). Television needs directions. Passcode for WiFi needs to be updated on the listing. There needs to be written directions for the stay. We found nothing telling us how we were expected to leave the house or what our responsibilities were and no direction for Emergencies.
