Liked: Cleanliness
Place was very clean, bed was comfortable and was in quiet residential neighborhood convenient to people I was visiting. Studio bedroom was dominated by two very large black vinyl massage or pedicure recliners and a PacMan game table, in place of normal furniture. Three coffee makers in kitchen but not a single coffee pod or small amount of coffee for a first morning’s cup of coffee, no welcome container like that which I’d expected. Instructions for the sauna were glued to the wall inside it and in small type too difficult to read to figure out if it was worth trying so I didn’t. Neighbors’ small dog barked each time I entered and left so I would not recommend bringing a dog there. Two dogs likely would bark at each other through the fence dividing the front yards, and the actual yard space where the hottub and other outdoor features are located was very small. Property manager had many rules and communication was only by generic email or one phone conversation required before arrival. He was clear in repeating rules, wouldn’t say friendly.

I stayed here for 2 weeks for a work trip with my 2 dogs. It was a happy, cozy spot for the 3 of us. The internet was fast enough for me to manage zoom calls easily. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and I was able to cook easily. The neighborhood was really peaceful and the dogs and I had some lovely walks.

Amazing!!!!

Such a beautiful private property, amenities were amazing and such a smooth process for check-in and check-out. The room definitely could’ve been cleaner, especially the kitchen and bathroom, but nothing major. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and anticipate coming back soon!

cute place

The home was clean and as advertised. Getting into the house was difficult as the directions weren't clear and it was hard to get ahold of the property manager, but there was a glitch with the phone line. Once that was resolved, he was able to help get us into the property and the rest of the time was great. Clean and cute.

Great little spot!

This is a cute/romantic little place that sleeps 2 comfortably. We loved the jacuzzi & sauna, and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. Lots of nice plants on the back patio, with a table and bench. Theres a beautiful tree growing over the house in the backyard and you can see through the skylight over the bed.This place was a steal for under 400 for two nights in our opinion. Has its expected flaws like a bathroom fan that badly needs replacing, but at the price we were very happy with the amenities!

A so so experience

Directions were very detailed and well communicated. The vibe I got from driving up in the property was very sketchy. Not a well maintained esthetic property. We did love the two massage chairs that were in the room. The bathrooms toilet and showers were clean. The floors did need to be swept. The counters in the kitchenette could have used a good wipe down before we arrived. We enjoyed the hot tub! I guess we were talking jwith raised voices because we did get a pounding on a wall which I believe was ment to be a warning. Granted it was after 10pm I totally understand. Honestly didn’t think it was necessary it was just two people talking. One of the drawbacks for having the owner living at the VRBO property.
