Good location. Quick drive to Legend Valley. No problem ordering a ride share to and from Everwild Festival. Beds are very comfortable. We brought our own coffee but there was a nice coffee and tea bar set up. Host was responsive and thorough with house details . House was exactly as described, fun nautical theme throughout. Would happily stay here again.

Great home base for family time

We enjoyed the comfort and amenities of this home. We were visiting family and we were able to come back and have quiet time in the evenings. The decor was bright and nautical, kitchen had all the amenities, bedrooms and living spaces were clean and neat, with beautiful throw pillows. The hostess was quick to respond and resolve a maintenance issue. There were a couple quirks like some non functioning electrical outlets, but they were able to be worked around. Would stay again when in the area

Mostly quiet (stayed in winter) besides neighbors’ vehicles. Definitely more lighting in the bedrooms and kitchen would be helpful as well as more outlets in the bedrooms. The caulking around the tub needs to be replaced and the baseboard heater in the bathroom is all rusted. I couldn’t find oven mitts or hot pads to use. Thankfully, I had travelled with my own. Otherwise, the kitchen looked well-stocked. The back of the bathroom doors could have hooks for towels so guests have somewhere to hang bath towels. We used plastic hangers in the closets to hang our towels so they could dry. The garage is used for storage, so one would have to have a very narrow car to use the garage for parking. We parked easily on the driveway. The host was kind and responsive and offered to have someone look at the dishwasher when it stopped working or wait until we had checked out. We opted to wait until we checked out so we could enjoy the stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2026
Hi Kristy, thanks for your review. I wish you would have messaged me privately for clarification on some of these items. There is a hook on the wall between the door and the shower as well as hooks in each bedroom for towels. Additionally, the laundry room has a coat rack with many hooks available for hanging items. Oven mitts and hot pads are located in the buffet drawer in the kitchen. The baseboard heater is non functional as the house has central heating which runs through the vents. I apologize the rust was unsightly. I do make a point to tell all guests the garage does not fit a large car before check in (even without the shelves). Unfortunately, I’m not able to add anymore outlets or ceiling lights at this time. As with any home, sometimes appliances malfunction and I was happy to address that instantly. I appreciate your thoughts and wish you safe travels.
