The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the property and would recommend to others. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the lack of items missing in the rental, that I would expect to be there. The following: no ice maker/machine, no kitchen hand towels or serving bowls, only one serving platter, no storage containers, no broom/pan or vacuum cleaner, no iron/ironing board, no hair dryers ##### Ann B.

I did have a few problems with the home, but I know a lot of it was because it is in the new neighborhood of Cinnamon Shores that still needs some work to better it for future travelers. ##### Rachel M.
