Loved the property! Family vacation with 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone loved it. House was better than the pictures! Loved the fenced in yard space so the little one was contained! The property has pretty much anything you could need when traveling with kids!

Nice and cozy:) I spend two nights with my family here and must say that the neighborhood is safe and quiet. My only issue was the way I was rushed out of the house, not sure if it was the owner himself but there was a man outside as we were leaving and didn’t seem too friendly… my dad is an elderly man and he takes a minute to get ready so i apologize for that. Other than that everything was fine

Jose mentioned he felt rushed, but I first knocked at 11:15am, after the 11:00am checkout time had already passed. At that point, nothing had been packed. I introduced myself as Geoff, the owner, and had been waiting outside with the cleaners so we could begin preparing the home for the next guests. We then waited an additional 10 minutes before knocking again, as we needed to proceed with turnover. Also, trash day is Thursday, and there are clearly posted signs by the cans. A reminder was sent the day before, but it was not followed. As a result, I had to make a special trip to the dump because the trash was overloaded and not placed at the curb for pickup.
