We really enjoyed our stay at the house and would absolutely come back. It had everything you could need, and we especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs — they made our outings easy and relaxing. The home was very clean, fresh, and well maintained, and the beds were comfortably firm.The location was convenient, and even though it’s near the airport, the noise really wasn’t a big bother. It was a little too cold during our visit to fully enjoy the pool, but we still loved spending time outside — the outdoor space was great for relaxing.Communication with the host was excellent. I had a small request for extra trash cans in the bathrooms and bedrooms, and they responded immediately — And even had them shipped via Amazon the next day. Overall, a wonderful stay with thoughtful hosts and a well-equipped home.

We enjoyed our stay at this home despite a few issues. Pros:The pool! One of the main selling points for us was the pool & it did not disappoint. We were traveling with our teenage daughter & really enjoyed it - especially the two raft floaties that another renter mentioned leaving behind in her review! The kitchen was well stocked. Be aware that there is not a water dispenser or an ice maker in the fridge. We bought a bag of ice but then discovered there IS an ice maker on the counter! The beds were very comfortable & we loved the extra fuzzy blankets for use on the couch while watching movies.House was clean & the dogs loved the fenced area for them out back.Go see Summer Circus!!Cons:The lights were flickering. Not just one but all the lamps in all three bedrooms as well as the hallway, over the kitchen sink, & the master closet. This was not the management company's fault - they did send a handyman and tried to set up for an electrician to come but this did cause us to have to rearrange our plans 3 different days. They did communicate with us though!The listing said there were beach towels but we could not find any. We had plans for the beach & the pool so I ended up ordering some from Amazon.The master tub didn't drain fast enough to be able to take a shower without the water reaching halfway up your legs so we all ended up using the shower in the other bathroom. There were only 3 of us so it was okay but if you have a bigger group, this could be an issue.

We could only use the pool at the end of the week. It was freezing. I bought floating chairs(that I left) so I was above the water. The house is extremely cute but I had to buy ant spray and I'm glad I did. I had to spray every day. The kitchen was very equipped with everything. I loved that every room has a tv which were simple to use. My pup was so good. No accidents and the daycare for dogs were wonderful. I would consider this house again for vacation. I hope you get someone real soon to fix the leaking spout on the side of the house. It's wasting more than a gallon of water an hour. I called the 1st day to notify the bugs and the dripping water to the host. I did hear back within the hour. The fee for my dog was a bit much. I get it that small dogs mark their spot and it cost money for the upkeep but I tried to explain that my old lazy dog is potty trained. If he wasn't I wouldn't have brought him to someone else's house. I wish you would go case by case. So I would recommend this house to family and friends.
