Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Home was spotless and everything brand new. Great location for boating and having the dock was a plus. Owner/Host were very helpful and responsive, especially since we accidently locked ourselves out of the house. They quickly responded and acted to resolve the issue. Would highly recommend rental for boaters.
