Disliked: Location
I took pictures that depict the house more accurately. The outside is not being kept up. Fence was being held up by straps connected to the back patio, kitchen floor peeling and uneven, bath towels had holes, stain on master bed comforter and clear packing tape covering holes in flooring. The neighborhood was less than desirable. Not the standards we expect from VRBO rental.

Charming weekend stay

I stayed with my 2 dogs and the home looked small from the outside, but the inside was very roomy. TBH I spent a lot of time on the back porch with the dogs. They enjoyed the backyard and the resting on the porch. The temps were cool enough to stay out for extended periods of time. I would 100% recommend this stay.
