Our hosts made this Vrbo rental one of the best rentals we have made in all our years of using VRBO. The property was exactly as advertised. An absolutely beautiful property inside and out. Perfect for a couple desiring to visit Ballard community for a weekend or longer. Convenient to beach parks and local eateries. Supermarket is within walking distance. Property was immaculate and all appliances as well as shower were in perfect working order. Our queen size bed gave us a restful sleep plus neighborhood is peacefully quiet. You will not regret reserving this unit.
