Space to spread out and nice pool

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room to spread out and the pool was really nice. We had our entire family and dogs staying and we did not feel crowded. The space was clean and tidy. We were missing a couple items in the kitchen (dish soap, paper towels and dish cloths) but this was not a big deal to us. We let Kara know when we left and she said she would make sure cleaning staff knew for the future. These was construction next door but it did not bother us at all. Communication was fast and helpful. We already booked another stay at the end of the month when we are in the area again.

Fantastic Dog-friendly Rental

My dog and I enjoyed our stay. There was construction next door, but it wasn’t overly noisy and did not impact my relaxation in the backyard by the pool.

Its ok

We were surprised to see this home rated as high as 9.4, as our experience would place it closer to a 7.8 While the backyard, pool area, and fish tank, and pet friendly were definite highlights—relaxing, enjoyable, and well-located—the home itself left somethings to be desired. The property appears to need interior updates and finish work. It was not as clean as expected, and we encountered some issues with things not working properly, some items being broken, and a few concerns related to safety.Additionally, the home was lacking basic supplies. We had to purchase essentials such as trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, and cups, as there was 4 glass cups provided.Overall, while there positive aspects to our stay, particularly the outdoor space, we don’t feel the property value was justified compared to other places we have stayed in the area in the past.

Not the Place to Stay Unless Desperate

The house was only partially renovated and construction was occurring next door (noise). High-lights --the aquarium and the pool (although no safety rails for getting in and out of it). LOW-lights --Was told at least 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom had doorway to accomodate my daughter in a wheelchair, but she ended up having to brush her teeth and clean off with wash cloth in the kitchen, and she could only go in and out the front door. Refrigerator without 1 handle broken shelves, and no ice maker; all old broken down mattresses on all beds (tried to use memory foam tops to cover up); 2 rooms with unfinished concrete floors, utility room messy old floor and the Jelly Fish lighting device made loud noise all night long in the utility room without a door, and made it hard to sleep (except master); no separate switch for fans and lights; only master had a real closet, others unfinished; paint needed touch up in many places; all couches sunk in when you sat on them; I could go on, but I was thankful to have this while my house had to be worked on. Just wished I had taken some time to see it before hand, rather than believing the property management.

Family getaway

My wife and I along with our 16 yr old son and two German Shepherds had a wonderful time while staying at this property. Kara was very friendly and responsive. My wife and son really enjoyed the added touch of the fish tank and tracking what the starfish was doing. The pool was great and we were all able to enjoy it. Neighborhood is very safe and walkable. Everything we could want from shopping to dining was within a ten minute drive. Thank you Kara for letting us stay at your place!

Great Stay for Families

Property has a nice location, and the large fish aquarium is wonderful if you have small children. The property still needs a little updating and was missing some basic amenities, but the bedrooms and pool fit our family's needs well. There is also a wonderful walking path around a large lake and a huge park only about a 5 mins drive away with sand volleyball, fishing piers, picnic areas, kayaks, and many other things. The neighborhood seemed very safe and friendly.
