Nov 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and spacious! We enjoyed the spaciousness and the large, airy deck where we could all sit, chat and chill. Inside the house has been renovated and is clean and comfortable. The exterior is in need of some running repairs and an afternoon downpour meant we were drenched as the gutters and downpipes were rusted through and water teemed down with unrelenting force. ##### Cassie and Jeff B.
