Loved the pool
This is a perfect home for a small family of 4. It has all the necessities needed for the stay and was very clean. The pool and yard were perfect for our group. The only downfall is there is one bathroom, which we knew before going. There is a small area closed off with a sink in the master bedroom; however, it does not work. The extra mirror and outlets in this area were a plus though. It’s a very cozy place and the owner was quick to provide assistance when needed. The location is great. The neighborhood is old but is safe, and it’s pretty much in the heart of everything. There were friendly elderly people walking in this neighborhood, which made me feel even more at ease. My daughter and I already miss the pool. We would definitely go back!

Perfect little bungalow for a visit to our navy sailor
House is adorable, very quiet and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed 2 afternoons of lying by the pool and enjoyed the large umbrella and comfy chairs. Location was within 20 minutes of everywhere we needed to be. I loved the little touches like the “Texas” cups and keurig K cups for morning coffee. The TV had amazing surround sound for us to enjoy the NHL playoffs. There are 2 queen beds which were VERY comfortable- house was very cool and quiet. Will stay here again :)

Lovely home, awesome outdoor space
Had no issues during our stay at all. The home was lovely, very clean and well equipped for a vacation rental. Located in a well established quiet and safe feeling residential neighborhood. Anthony was friendly and prompt in all communications and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The outdoor space is truly fantastic, so nice to have a well size private pool for our use. The pool was very clean as well and we enjoyed spending the afternoon poolside. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future!

A Great Disappointment
The initial reservation and confirmation was good. I will say the Vrbo messaging service is somewhat sporadic in efficacy. This may have lead to some of the confusion with the time crunches we had to deal with later on after our arrival. I can’t go into the whole story here because of content limitations. Bottom line Anthony didn’t follow through with his commitment we paid for and was not honest with us and lied to us and the Vrbo representatives that we were on the phone with. He stated to the rep that he would refund our money and never has. I would not have written this review if he had done what we had agreed to. But he is not a man of his word and I can’t recommend him to anyone in good conscience. I was very disappointed with him and the property. And also Vrbo. I’m still trying to see if Vrbo will hold him accountable in some way. They have him on record saying he would refund our money. But the rep also told us there was no way they could force him to refund our money. I hope this saves someone the heartache and expense that we had to endure. We ended up leaving and having to find a hotel to go to. It was nicer and less expensive. Beware of false advertising and misrepresentation of property. Anthony’s reviews were good. But we got burned!

Home Away From Home!!!
We have never stayed in a bungalow and it was definitely a weekend to remember. The home was perfect for me and my little family and Anthony was great at his hosting skills. We had a blast in the pool and our experience was fun. Thanks for having us in your beautiful home, we will definitely be back.
