Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We really enjoyed our stay. This property is located a short drive to several restaurants, parks for the kids, and beach access points. Downtown Frankfort is also close. Self check in made it easy to access. Host communicated timely. Located on a quiet side street so our kids could ride bikes or scooters. Would stay here again
