Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Beautiful location and interesting, historical house. Great spot to enjoy the sunset. Lots of great birds. We hope to return! Kitchen is well-appointed. Pictures posted on VRBO by host represent property accurately.Check-in was a bit confusing as the lockbox on door was not a lock, but contained the keys. Front door would not unlock with the key, but we used a key to unlock a side door. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and out. Master bedroom comfortable. Bed in second downstairs bedroom not so much.Host (Meredith) readily available to answer questions.Instruction sheet on trash pickup, what to do on departure, etc., should be provided.Friendly and helpful neighbor (Tom). Neighborhood restaurant, Driftwood Point, is excellent. Drive to local wineries is beautiful.
