The house is so cute!! Love the colors outside. Nice backyard if you have a dog. Kitchen was fully furnished - soap paper towels pots and pans foil bags spices. It’s close enough to downtown to walk but not so close that it’s noisy. We had a good time there

the air conditioning worked. It was a little difficult to figure out but we got it. The property was very pet friendly. The location could not have been better. Just off of Government street amongst all the shops and restaurants. Perfect!! The bed was comfortable and the shower head was incredible. We'll be looking to get one of our own.
