Well appointed and beautifully decorated. The pool was clean and refreshing. The koi pond was fun. The kitchen had all the dishes and utensils we needed. One bathroom faucet was non-functional and one of the three baths was TINY. The stairs to the upstairs room with the king and queen beds were too steep for my wife to climb. I am sure they do not conform to standard building codes. The fenced yard was great for the dogs but not really very pet friendly as there was no grass, but only rocks. We had a nice stay and would certainly stay there again, but would know ahead of time that my wife could not use the upstairs room. ##### Barry M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie M. 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Perfect!! When we arrived, the pool was in need of cleaning but they had someone out in just minutes and again the next day! Very responsive! Definitely will be going back. ##### Julie M. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacob F. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Very easy check-in! Photos were accurate to the property. Only issues we ran into was the pool looked almost the same after supposedly being cleaned mid trip. Wi-Fi also does not work. We were given 3 ways to try and log in and none worked so we gave up at that point. ##### Jacob F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle H. 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice location Nice spot but the house didn’t fit our needs as well as I hoped. Really the main issue was downstairs bathrooms are tiny with no counter space. Really needs an update to a walk in shower instead of a tub. Other than that the furniture was very comfortable and we appreciated all the seating options. Pool is hot which I realize can’t be controlled. Also, more important, is the deck has screws sticking up so don’t go barefoot! Definitely needed a full size trash can in the kitchen instead of a tiny wastebasket. Kitchen needs potholders and the dining room fan remote didn’t work. ##### Michelle H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ---
