Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie P. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lots of space The property offers lots of room for a large family. There are some great amenities. Close to shopping and restaurants. Highways are easily accessible. The cleanliness of the property was a little less desirable. Not terrible but not what I expected. Windows and sills were dirty and dusty. Oven dirty and a few things broken throughout. Dust on ceiling fans. Beds felt as if sand had been scattered in them. Would have loved to enjoy the backyard but the lawn was a bit overgrown. Overall we loved the space and area. Great property and location for the price. ##### Stephanie P.
