It also has a beautiful view and nice new deck to enjoy with plenty of space in the home. However, there was a significant issue with spiders (I’m not talking like a couple here and there, we found dozens and dozens throughout the home and woke up with some crawling on us) and there was construction that had been done leaving dozens of nails & screws all over the driveway. Thankfully no one got one up their foot or tire but we had to go through a cleanup ourselves of this issue. There was a miscommunication with the house cleaners and they arrived the day after we checked in so we are not sure if the place was even cleaned beforehand. If you book, do be aware they expect you to communicate through phone with the property management company directly and not the VRBO app despite this being the mechanism for booking. This caused delays in responses to our concerns. Also if power goes out, there is no generator. Not entirely in the owners control of course but if you have critical needs for power or food in fridge, there’s not a backup option. I am confident the owners can remediate the issues with spraying for bugs and ensuring construction crews do a better job of cleanup after working on the deck or other parts of the home, but it was not a great experience for us on our family reunion trip. ##### Stephanie D.
