We enjoyed staying in this house; there was plenty of room in the house and the lot was big with plenty of room to park. Everything was clean. There were just a few things that we noticed that needed improving. There wasn't much silverware in the kitchen. I guess several pieces had gotten lost over the years. The sofa wasn't supportive and probably needs replacing. The shade in one of the bedrooms was broken so the sun shines in brightly as soon as the sun rises. Overall, it was nice staying there. It's very peaceful on that side of the island. The sunsets over the bay are beautiful!

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad the home was clean, spacious, and easy to park at — and we agree, that peaceful side of the island with those bay sunsets is beautiful. We appreciate you noting the items that need attention. We’ll be restocking the silverware, checking the sofa, and getting that bedroom shade repaired. We’re happy you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to welcome you back.

The property fit our family. It was too cold to enjoy the pool however it was nice to sit beside it. I would suggest bringing your own favorite pan as theirs did stick. It was a bit musty smelling as well. My only real complaint was the floors weren't that clean so shoes were a must unless you like dirty feet. The beds were comfortable and the downstairs playspace allows for lots of fun! We will definitely return.

Rental was very dirty from hair in the bed to moldy spatchula and unwashed pot holder. Grill wouldn’t light. Clothing left under bed from previous guests. Mgt was quick to respond and offered to having cleaning crew come. Was there for 1 night and didn’t want to leave to have it cleaned as it would have taken hours to get it in good shape. Didn’t ask but wasn’t offered to refund cleaning fee which obviously wasn’t cleaned between guests
