The Property was in excellent condition and the amenities and appearance was as advertised. The Host was very responsive and helpful to all of my inquiries and questions. It was overall and excellent experience. I was very disappointed in that I left a very nice liquor Caddy by mistake at the Property. This was given as a Christmas Gift from my wife and it was accidentally left. I contacted the Host as soon as we arrived home, the same day. She said the cleaning crew did not see it. The Caddy was loaded with an unopened Bottle of wine and 3 additional Bottles of Liquor. I questioned all of our party and no one picked it up by mistake. The cleaning crew was the only people that entered the House after we left. The Owner told me they would invest he situation, however I have not gotten any word on this situation yet. We very much enjoys stay, but the situation with my Bag is very disappointing.
