The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property. The home is very outdated and needs attention. We stayed there couple years ago and inside was the same no update, Furniture is more like college dorm room at the end of four years. The TV is a tube tv that cuts off at side because of the format that things are shown today. The beds very very hard. Great Weber grill . Great view. Large kitchen and deck but both umbrellas are in need of replacement. ##### joe s.
