Quick Overnight Stay
The property was suitable for an overnight stay. The Wi-Fi wasn't working, so we watched tv for a few hours instead until bedtime, which was ok because we were tired. Overall no complaints, it was quiet and very clean and would recommend!

Good potential
We needed an extended stay place fairly local while our house was being repaired. This place fit the need initially. We even intended to extend our stay until we encountered some pest issues. Owner was helpful and responsive. It has good potential if a few improvements can be made to the property.
Cute, clean property. Appreciated having bedding and towels provided, plus the lovely hand soaps and bath products. Was so nice to have private spaces, shared spaces, plus a kitchen.

Never again with Vrbo
From the host and Vrbo the communication was very poor i spent hours on the phone with Vrbo and their customer service is disgraceful and this will be the last time I'll be booking through them absolutely disgraceful the way they treat customers... the house itself was disappointing not sure id be in a hurry to go back i was expecting a Hampton standard but it's a Motel 6

Nice location with park across the street
We enjoyed our stay at this property even though we had a few issues listed below.. We could walk to the park across the street with the grand kids.
Conveniently located to grocery store and attractions we were interested in.
Had some issues with bugs in the house. Which was a surprise. Also, would suggest adding more flatware since we were a family of 6 we had to wash flatware each meal.
Also, add a soup ladle and pairing knife.
We left a pizza pan and pizza cutter that we purchased for our stay to add to your kitchen.
We also felt the need most nights for additional blankets.
Additional suggestions: tighten the bathroom tub and sink faucets which are very loose, and the chairs at the dining table have rungs that are loose as well and make the chairs unstable.
Thanks

Wonderful property
The perfect property to stay when visiting the theme parks. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend trip. The backyard was huge and we enjoyed the space.
