Double booking snafu

We, sadly, did not get to enjoy the property due to booking platform communications. However, Susan went above and beyond to find us a place to make our stay enjoyable! Highly recommend Susan as a host!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean and just about anything we could possible need was there! This is an older home and was cutely decorated. AC worked great (man it was hot!), neighborhood was fine, and bed very comfy! I emailed the owner about my "need" for a pod style coffee maker and she dropped one by the house before we arrived. There were some amazing cookies and a nice not to welcome us. I highly recommend this property.

Why they chose this property

This house belonged to a local attorney and had been extremely well cared for all along. I was able to buy it from her estate after she passed away. I love mid century homes with their strong construction, functionality and the inviting hardwood floors throughout!
