Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family TIme Fancy Nancy was beautiful and the perfect size for us. Nancy was my husband's mom's name so it was a nice remembrance of her. The weather was great and this time of year there are less people which we liked. There was one difference that I noted the reservation says check out is 1100am but the owner said it was 1000am. We left by 1100am just as the garbage truck picked up the trash, so all was good! Thanks Cindy ##### Cynthia L.
