Reading VRBO Review
Nice updated property. Very clean. Needed paper towels in kitchen and bathrooms. Great communication with host, all questions were quickly answered. Could not lock the back door from the outside using the keypad. This door was unlocked when we arrived and the back screen door does not clear the awning above it and scrapes it every time the door is opened.Outside of these incidents, the overall experience was good.
