The couch and rug in the living room were heavy stained and dirty. The bed sheets/linens were stained and sandy. The master bath had drain flies. The bath towels/linens were stained, and we were asked if we were open to having a showing of showing for potential buyers during our stay. The rental was in rough shape and felt neglected.

Wonderful spot!

This was the second time staying at True Blue and it was wonderful! It’s in a cute neighborhood that is really close to the beach and our favorite restaurant, Aunt Kate’s. The house is clean and large enough for our teens and we always have our little dog with us. We will definitely be back next summer. Tamara is the best hostess!
