Clean, convenient, and roomy!
We enjoyed our stay. We loved the convenience to the tennis courts, the large table and space for our group, and the pool. It was a little outdated, but we enjoyed it.

Clean but needs work
My family was in search of 2 nights of lodging fairly close to the church and home of our recently deceased relative. Though hotel housing was available, our family prefers to be under one roof whenever possible as the comfort of family is preferable for grieving as well as celebrations. Our family has rented several locations over the years. There were not many choices in the area and we selected your accommodations for this stay. We had four major problems during our stay: The door would not lock (batteries needed to be replaced), as a backup, the keys in the lock box were not obtainable (due being given the wrong code), there were no sheets for the futon (delivered later), the upstairs toilet stopped working (repair person had to get a part to fix it). These issues were responded to and corrected in an expediate manner and we appreciated the quick response but these repairs had to be completed while we were not in the home and service people had to enter among our things without supervision which is never desirable. There are at least three safety features that need to be corrected. This is an old house & there may be the occasional bug but roaches on the bedding are unacceptable, there are two big holes in the deck and the step down from the kitchen to the living space should be mentioned in the listing and several family members stubbled due to the hard to distinguish ledge. Duplicate pictures of the same room for no reason. Clean but would not rebook this location.
