Home is clean and comfortable. This would have been a five star rating except the fire pit that was advertised was missing and that is the main reason we booked this home. If you are going to advertise an amenity it should be available or when informed it is missing something should be done to make it right.

Bed was rock hard, detailed accurate lock box instructions would have been helpful; left a charging block there and could not get a response on it’s return.Just did respond very quickly for access issue.The shower is ideal for handicap individuals, should be added to property description.
