Family trip
Overall it is a nice rental and had most of what you need and in a great neighborhood. Immediately on arrival the house had a bad odor and remained that way through out our stay. I kept our clothes washed while there and now I’m having to re-wash them all, because they smell like the house. It smelled like a combination of vinegar and moth balls. The floors appeared clean to the eye, but turned my grandson black when he would crawl and all of our feet. I sent a picture of his legs to the property manager and they offered to come back out to clean the floors, but with a house full of people and 2 dogs that would had been inconvenient. The 2 rooms described as queen beds appeared smaller than a queen. My husband and I had very little room and the comforters were not cozy and had a few stains. There are seashells that keep you from slipping in the downstairs tub that were very uncomfortable with bathing and actually scratched my grand daughter’s back. Also, there was no mention of the house being under surveillance which I did not like with having teenage girls and not being notified of cameras in advance. I definitely feel the house was overpriced for what we got. We have rented several houses in the same neighborhood with different companies that were kept up better. We did have a good time, but would not recommend this house unless changes made.

Very friendly neighborhood! House is perfect fit my family of 5 plus our 2 year old Labrador comfortably! Was super happy to get a house that allowed our dog to come! Had a small problem with fire alarms but maintenance was quick to respond. Internet was a little slow but that was okay. Would stay again!

Great Location
Our trip as a family was a good one. We never contacted anyone during our stay, but there are a few things that need to be addressed. I noticed the house is in real estate and that could be why, but the plumbing liked to back up in the upstairs bathrooms and the kitchen sink didnt always drain. We just dealt with this and knew how to approach it. The property was a good size and gave us plenty of room to enjoy alone or together time. Overall, i would recommend this property to others due to the location and size. It was great for our getaway!!
