Modern home in a great location.

Staying here this trip was perfect. Zero hassle and a clean and welcoming property. Our first handful of activities were all about 7 minutes away so that became the running joke for the trip.

Everything was pretty much as advertised. It looked and felt clean, there was dishwasher and laundry detergent, paper towels, etc. Things you generally expect but aren't there at every property.The host wasn't overly communicative, but we were fine. We didn't run into any issues but I hope they would have responded quickly if we had. All in all, I would probably stay here again.
