Rented it to stay in town for a family wedding over the weekend. Really easy to check in and had everything we needed. Close to the downtown area and plenty to do nearby!

Property was perfect for our bachelorette trip! Plenty of space for 5 girls and all their stuff! The house was cozy and welcoming. It was a short distance to everything we wanted to do for the weekend.

Everything was great at this property. It was clean, it had easy access to area attractions, the property manager was very friendly and responsive. I was not a fan of the 300 refundable deposit for incidentals though. The igniter on the grill was broken and we had to use a lighter to light it, and the overall lighting in the house wasn't great.But overall, it was a great property and we would totally recommend!Thank you!

Can easily walk to town and the beach. The floors are a bit noisy and can be a bit disruptive to sleepers when others walk around. Beds were great. Back yard was great and we seen deer every morning in the back and front yards. Be aware that the light switches control the electrical outlets, but once you figure that out it works fine.

I chose this home to attend my Aunt's 90th Birthday Bash in downtown Frankfort because it was a five minute drive. Pet friendly. Host/Manager managing the property was quick in responding back to any queries/questions we had. Would stay again given the chance.
