Location was great and the house itself was excellent. I would only caution that if you have multiple professionals needing to do work from the house, the internet situation isn't capable of keeping up.

Hey Benjy, thanks for the feedback. I looked back through our messages and did not see any complaints about the WiFi. I am sorry about that. We have 2 high speed networks from Comcast and we take internet speed very seriously. Next time, call the host. We can always troubleshoot remotely and call Comcast or reset the router if need be.
The entire house was great! The multiple levels and kitchens allowed our large group to socialize while not disturbing those resting. The outdoor patio was also great for doing work! 10/10!
Stayed for a long weekend with friends. House is in an awesome location. Not far from the airport and has everything you would need within a quick walk. Even getting downtown was a breeze. Would absolutely stay here again with out a doubt
We had a wonderful time staying here for a bachelorette party! Eleven adults fit comfortably here for three nights. The host was very reachable and responded quickly, which made our stay even easier. Being able to walk to convenience stores, coffee shops, and restaurants was an added perk to our weekend trip!
Perfect for our stay with our team of girls we brought to town for a regatta. Plenty of space, comfortable and clean. It was nice to have a hot tub! Loved the neighborhood and close proximity to the airport. Communication with the host was great.
The property made for a nice stay. Fit our family of five perfectly. The host was very reaponsive and friendly. It is a great location within South Boston.
Hey Caroline,
Thanks for the positive feedback. We are glad that you and your group enjoyed the stay. We hope you come back and stay with us again soon!
This property location was perfect for 2 families with adult children visiting the area for the long holiday weekend. Close to bars and restaurants, but off the main street, so easy to load/unload without stressful traffic! The hot tub made it fun for unwinding in the evenings adter dinner and drinks! The host was great with communication as well!
Overall this is a nice location and a nice place. Beds were clean, everything in working order. Hot Tub was a nice touch. Heat Pumps for AC is a very nice option too. We Ubered in to Aquarium but ended up taking the T back and walking the mile or so. I recommend this option if you have a big group
I stay at a lot of VRBOs and this was a great one. What made it work really well was the location, cleanliness and probably most important was how responsive the manager was to quick questions. I would highly recommend this stay. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We hope to have you back soon!
This property was perfect for our girls Aunts/Cousins weekend. Alex was an amazing host and was very helpful answering all questions and giving us links of what to do. The property was so nicely set up, lots of living space, the bar in living room was so nice and convenient. The kitchen was great and plenty of beds that were very comfortable. It was a perfect place to stay. We would definitely stay again.
The property was great to visit with friends. Close to pickleball, candlepin bowling, and great food! The kitchen is on the bottom floor of where you entertain. There is a hot tub that we did not use because it was cold in January!
