Nov 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Rental Ever!!! Let me start by saying that I have rented many pet friendly homes and this was by far the best!!! The entire downstairs has hardwood including the stairs so there were no pet odors. The home itself has so many wonderful custom features with much attention to detail. The kitchen is amazing! Very well stocked and equipped with everything you may need for cooking family meals. Lots of recessed lighting and granite all around, just beautiful! Bedrooms are huge with comfy mattresses. Decor very nautical and tastefully done. We were fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the pool and hot tub with the nice weather. This porches are awesome with very expensive furniture. Can't go wrong with this one. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back to rent again!!! ##### Linda L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### ERICH O.
