Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Judith S. Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy The house itself is very nice. But there were some issues (broken lamp, missing remote controls and something (we don't know what it was) that smelled very bad (rotten)in the garage. Communication was very bad. It took about 1,5 weeks before these things were fixed. On the outside lot's of things were broken. On our last day they wanted to replace some chair pillows, so that we could still enjoy it while we were there..... ##### Judith S. Stayed 21 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### keri b. Mar 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Backyard is as great as advertised! We’re from the PNW so for us, the backyard was heaven and perfect for spending some time in the sun. This place is great for a group, Layout is nice if you have a mix of early risers and night owls. Beds are comfortable and no shared walls. House was well stocked and property manager easy to work with. One thing is that the bbq is probably on its last leg. Overall very nice and just what some sun starved humans needed! ##### keri b. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim E. Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious This home and pool gave 5 adults and 3 children plenty of space to be together without being on top of each other. We did need to bring our own folding chairs as the large table only has 6 chairs. The kitchen could use more utensils but we made it work. Definitely would come back. ##### Kim E.
