Perfect property for a family get away! The house has walkable access to everything you could need- downtown BV, riverfront park and trails, dog park, dining, etc. We loved the family friendly inclusions (pack-and-play, high chair), well stocked kitchen, and super responsive host, and will definitely stay again when we return to the area!
House is beautiful, and a great location within walking distance to town. The only negative comment that I can make is that the only air conditioning is in the bedrooms upstairs, and one was not working during our stay in July. Opening the windows made the house more than comfortable, but because the windows don’t have screens, bugs would get in. The host was more than accommodating, but a lot of responses are AI generated. Other than that, everything else was perfect, and would definitely stay there again!
