The property is nice and has a beautiful outdoor area. The part we did not like was that the master bedroom is upstairs and it is the only room that offers two beds. Overall, it was a great home and location.

That outdoor area really is a highlight, and it's great to hear the home and location came together well for you overall. Thanks for the note on the upstairs bedroom layout; we've passed it along to our team so future guests know what to expect. We'd love to welcome you back whenever your next trip comes together.

The house was extremely clean and communication was great. Overall, we had an amazing time and we would stay there again. However, the outdoor grill was not working when we got there and it was missing parts. It was clear that it had not been maintained. There was a smaller charcoal grill we could use, but we were still disappointed by the state of the outdoor kitchen. But again, we had a great time overall!

We did not have pets. Kitchen was great. The property was very nice, not as big as we thought but very nice. Only complaint there was no awning anywhere to sit outside out of the sun or the rain.

Very easy check-in! Photos were accurate to the property. Only issues we ran into was the pool looked almost the same after supposedly being cleaned mid trip. Wi-Fi also does not work. We were given 3 ways to try and log in and none worked so we gave up at that point.

Beautiful property. Well appointed and beautifully decorated. The pool was clean and refreshing. The koi pond was fun. The kitchen had all the dishes and utensils we needed. One bathroom faucet was non-functional and one of the three baths was TINY. The stairs to the upstairs room with the king and queen beds were too steep for my wife to climb. I am sure they do not conform to standard building codes. The fenced yard was great for the dogs but not really very pet friendly as there was no grass, but only rocks. We had a nice stay and would certainly stay there again, but would know ahead of time that my wife could not use the upstairs room.

Nice location

Nice spot but the house didn’t fit our needs as well as I hoped. Really the main issue was downstairs bathrooms are tiny with no counter space. Really needs an update to a walk in shower instead of a tub. Other than that the furniture was very comfortable and we appreciated all the seating options. Pool is hot which I realize can’t be controlled. Also, more important, is the deck has screws sticking up so don’t go barefoot! Definitely needed a full size trash can in the kitchen instead of a tiny wastebasket. Kitchen needs potholders and the dining room fan remote didn’t work.
