Disliked: Cleanliness
We were quite disappointed. No table. No chairs. No hooks or other storage. Stained duvet. “Couch” was pitiful. No instructions about TV. Husband fell and bruised his arm when chair on front deck collapsed (rotted wood). Sewer-like odor. Had to buy candles.

Everything as described, the host is very good about communication and making sure you have what you need.
Entire property was overall very tidy and cozy. Had to provide my own sheets and towels, which was no big deal. Loved the motion light switch in the bathroom. This place is PERFECT for a couple that simply needs a place to sleep and shower. There's a small mini fridge, microwave, and 2 stove eyes for some simple meals if needed. Really cool private outdoor shower!
