Excellent rental experience. Was as advertised and so well stocked with special amenities like a pack and play, tons of toys for kids, well stocked kitchen - THANK YOU!Our only complaint is the sink situation. It’s pretty difficult to not use the kitchen sink when cooking for a bunch of people. We had to pretty much run the dishwasher constantly.

Perfect for our large family
We were in the area for a family wedding. We came from NC, Texas and California with guests ranging from 1 year to 77!! We had an absolute blast. The house is stocked with EVERYTHING we needed. We did not want for one thing. From the hot tub, game room and kid toys to the comfy beds and spacious kitchen, we enjoyed ourselves. Michael walked us through check in and out and even answered a message late at night that definitely could have waited until the morning. Thank you for the memories.
