Aug 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer/anniversary get away with pets We were very pleased with the home and the location and the communication of the owners. Lovely home, decorated with the coastal flair! Luxurious towels!! Well equipped amenities . Dogs didn't care for all the sticker burrs in the yard so very difficult to walk on the property. we had power outages on the peninsula throughout the time we were there which made the visit most uncomfortable thus we had to leave early. The property was great otherwise. ##### Charles D.
