Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little house The house was nice and accommodated our family of five well. It had basic needs like toiletries, laundry pods, and dishwasher pods. Plenty of dishes and utensils and plenty of towels. I wish the living room furniture had been more comfortable but all the beds were very comfortable. The only complaint I have is the floor. Whatever they clean the floor with left a residue and walking around barefoot left the bottoms of our feet black. Other than that everything was perfect and a great property for the money! ##### Corinne S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### beverly W. Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean house, The house was clean. Although the yard could have been mowed. The front door code box went off and on during a heavy rain storm for over 2 hours at 6 am. The heavy rain was hitting the door , i suppose that is why it would be smart to put a cover box over it. box ##### beverly W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zulma M.
