The experience with this home and the owner could not have been any better. First, the home is gorgeous. The first word out of my mouth when I walked in was “Wow!” The home was built in 1953 but has been completely renovated from top to bottom. The décor is designer quality and includes stone countertops, sleek, modern plumbing fixtures, and high-end appliances (the photos don't do it justice). The kitchen is fully equipped, way beyond the basics. The bathroom is stunning, and one very thoughtful touch is a drawer under one of the sinks filled with toiletries, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, a first aid kit, and other nice touches. They don't skimp on towels, either. Meg, the owner, left us a sweet, hand-written welcome note and some cookies from a nearby bakery to find upon our arrival. She went out of her way to provide a Pack 'n' Play for our infant to sleep in, which I don't think is normally in the house. The weather was too cold to use the fenced backyard, but the space is really nice. It includes a well-manicured lawn and a sitting area, as well as an ancient oak tree to add ambiance. Again, just beautiful. I got the impression that the owners designed this rental property by asking themselves what would they like to have in a home-away-from -home. I believe no expense was spared. I have stayed in a number of short-term rentals (my first VRBO), and I can say without hesitation that this is the best one I’ve ever rented.
