This house is in a great neighborhood, close to so many attractions! The loft was great for our three kids as was the craft room and ping pong table. We had some maintenance problems. The washing machine wasnt fully functional and after a heavy rain, the downstairs bathroom floor was soaking wet. A plumber was sent out, but nothing was able to be done while we were there.

Visit to see new baby
This home was in a comfortable and quiet neighborhood just blocks from our son’s home. We were able to walk to visit our new grandchild and return to a well appointed multi bedroom VRBO for the evenings. The home was well equipped in all area from Kitchen to bathrooms to bedrooms .

Great spot
Convenient, very quiet, clean. Issues were minor such as recliner lever missing and hair dryer not blowing warm air. Being tall and having bad knees, tough to stand up off furniture and toilet. Common problem across most rentals.
My wife loved this place and would offer to pay for taller toilet so she could come back again.
