Great location and super clean!

Very accommodating host! Place was super clean and very well stocked! Quiet neighborhood but close proximity to many beaches, restaurant's and stores. If we needed anything we just had to ask. Host family was around but never bothered us and always willing to provide suggestions. Only suggestion would be to upgrade washer and provide directions for cleaning dryer lint trap . Overall 2 thumbs up and would return and highly recommended!!!!

Clean and comfortable at best

The property was clean and the king sized bed was comfortable. The couch was really four hassocks and was very hard and uncomfortable. Some of the other furniture was not as pictured and the bathroom was very small. There were stairs to the place that could use some work and steps up to the bathroomand bedroom. We would not stay in that neighborhood again and I don’t know why a gym was listed. We did communicate since we arrived late each evening.
