We really enjoyed our stay at the house and would absolutely come back. It had everything you could need, and we especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs — they made our outings easy and relaxing. The home was very clean, fresh, and well maintained, and the beds were comfortably firm.The location was convenient, and even though it’s near the airport, the noise really wasn’t a big bother. It was a little too cold during our visit to fully enjoy the pool, but we still loved spending time outside — the outdoor space was great for relaxing.Communication with the host was excellent. I had a small request for extra trash cans in the bathrooms and bedrooms, and they responded immediately — And even had them shipped via Amazon the next day. Overall, a wonderful stay with thoughtful hosts and a well-equipped home.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. I’m so glad there was plenty of space for everyone and that communication was helpful throughout your stay. You’re welcome back anytime — we’d love to host you again!
We could only use the pool at the end of the week. It was freezing. I bought floating chairs(that I left) so I was above the water. The house is extremely cute but I had to buy ant spray and I'm glad I did. I had to spray every day. The kitchen was very equipped with everything. I loved that every room has a tv which were simple to use. My pup was so good. No accidents and the daycare for dogs were wonderful. I would consider this house again for vacation. I hope you get someone real soon to fix the leaking spout on the side of the house. It's wasting more than a gallon of water an hour. I called the 1st day to notify the bugs and the dripping water to the host. I did hear back within the hour. The fee for my dog was a bit much. I get it that small dogs mark their spot and it cost money for the upkeep but I tried to explain that my old lazy dog is potty trained. If he wasn't I wouldn't have brought him to someone else's house. I wish you would go case by case. So I would recommend this house to family and friends.

Thank you for the review! I'm so sorry the weather was not yet warm enough for you to enjoy the pool. I would like to note though, that no pool heater is advertised on this home. I appreciate your feedback about the pet fee, and completely understand, however, the pet fee isn't for how much "damage" a dog does, but more for the extra cleaning performed after each pet stay as a standard practice for sanitary purposes. So glad you enjoyed the TV's in every room and speedy response of management. It was a pleasure hosting you!
