Lovely home

We were in the area for my step daughter’s wedding. The place was great for our purposes. Very clean, great beds, enough room to construct table decor and room decor form the flowers we purchased. The lack of rugs lent a beach feel and the floors are beautiful. Our dog was a bit skittish because of this aspect. We didn’t cook at all but the kitchen looked well equipped. The rental contact was communicative and helpful. I wasn’t wild about downloading an app to gain access to the home, but they were willing to provide another provide anothe way of access.

Perfect

This property, and specifically the preparation of the host sets the bar for how a VRBO should be done. Everything was clean and organized, new in places but not overdone. The right amount of support - a few coffee pods for the first morning, some creamers and sweeteners, and a few things in the kitchen without feeling like it's someone else's food. Clean bathroom, good wifi, and great bedding. In short, everything one needs, and nothing you dont want. Please keep up the good hosting Claudia.
