Everything was so clean. The house smelled amazing. The host replied very quickly to any questions we had. It was very close to the attractions and several beaches and parks. Very well supplied too with dishes, silverware, and cook wares. The pool was very clean and the area around the pool was very clean. Another great thing we loved was it was pet friendly. And the backyard was completely fenced so plenty of room for your fur babies to roam. We will definitely rent again for future visits.
