Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 Stars – Perfect Getaway! The house was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location. There were plenty of toiletries and helpful kitchen items provided, which made our stay easy and convenient. The pool was a definite highlight, and we also enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage. The host left very detailed instructions on how to operate everything, which made settling in a breeze. Check-in and check-out were both super easy none of those long lists of tasks some hosts require at the end of a stay. There was plenty of room for our group of six adults and a 15-year-old everyone had space to relax and feel comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again! ##### James H.
