This is by far the best VRBO in Parkland. We stayed here repeatedly while visiting our daughter who was attending PLU. The garage is able to be used for parking your car - which is great. The beds are so comfortable and everything in the house up to date. It has a well-stocked kitchen/pantry. I couldn't recommend this place any higher. Their tagline says "your home away from home" - that is so true. Over the years we have stayed it began to feel like our second home. Julie is amazing, a great communicator and so thoughtful. If you stay here you won't regret it. I would give more than five stars if I could.
