The home was immaculately clean and the most well-stocked place we have ever stayed in. It instantly felt safe and comfortable as soon as we stepped through the door. The host has anything you could possibly need, like Advil, makeup items, food, ice, and drinks. I literally could go on and on. Everything was perfect. The only thing that wasn't absolutely perfect was the water pressure. For long hair, it isn't really strong, so rinsing takes a bit and I skipped conditioner. I think putting a handheld showerhead in could help remedy that. Nonetheless, we would 100% stay here again and recommend staying here.

Our stay was perfect at this cute bungalow. Very spacious 2 bedroom/2 full bathroom that had tv’s in both even though we only used 1 bedroom & only 1 bath! This place had everything you could ask for - I mean everything! Very clean & very cozy & very convenient to shopping, restaurants & attractions. We appreciated the washer & dryer & all the extra sheets, towels, pillows, etc. even though we did not need all this. The fridge had water & ice dispenser - I mean this was a home away from home. I appreciated all the little amenities including bathroom extras including cough drops!!! We loved that this was pet friendly too - thank you! I wish all VRBO’s put in all the little extra’s that came with this place. Thank you Deanna so much!!!

Woooooow!! I'm blushing! Thank you so much for that glowing review!! When things aren't perfect, I always HOPE that those little extra things save my score 😆 but you are the FIRST guest to actually acknowledge those random things - like the cough drops. 😆 Thank you again!! Made my day!

This home is just worn out and needs some repairs and replacements. Things listed were correct but many things were well worn. Blinds were broken up, rugs were worn , and bathroom sink waa stopped up. Since there is no sidewalk or steps to the home we had to walk through grass that had just been mowed and no matter how we tried grass got everywhere in the home. Need a place just to sleep it's fine. We should have gotten a hotel

About the host

Hosted by Deanna Duncan

Host profile image
Hosting saved my life. It really did. As a budget traveler myself, I believe you shouldnt sacrifice travelling because of the cost of sleeping somewhere. Get out there and make memories!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood was a previous military training camp. It's called Camp Taylor! Lots of smaller houses with large yards. Lots of families who have lived here for generations. Super close to the interstates and the airport, but extremely quiet nonetheless. I personally chose this neighborhood because it has a small town vibe just minutes from everywhere in the city.

What makes this property unique

I always get compliments for being a communicative host! Feel free to ask any questions you have!
