We enjoyed our stay! Marie did a good job cleaning before we arrived and the kitchen was outfitted with everything needed. The fenced in back yard had plenty of room for our dog to run free.
Host was great. Location was perfect for us. You could hear a little noise from the road but definitely wouldn’t be a deal breaker to rent again. Will definitely be checking availability when we come back down to fish again.
The owners were great to work with, we needed a last minute place to stay and they got it worked out so we could check in early. The house is clean and comfy and close to a lot of shopping and food options. We were only there for two days but it worked out great for us. The only small negative is the somewhat noisy road, but for most it probably wouldn't be. We would stay here again if we needed to be in the area.
Very clean VRBO. We were in between closing on houses and needed a place for a week that would accommodate our dogs and cats. The fenced backyard and screened porch worked great! It is on a busy road with noise but we didn’t really notice it after a couple days.
