Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kim N. 30 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Beautiful home, not super great for medium to large dogs The home is beautiful, although there are a few key areas for improvement. The yard is NOT fully enclosed, despite the fence going all the way around the property - there is no door on the opening from the patio to the driveway, so we had to barricade it with garage cans and the grill to allow our dogs to run in the yard. The coffee maker was only 8 cups and the carafe leaks when it is full, so minor thing, bit for a home that sleeps up to 8 adults and 4 kids, a larger coffee maker would be welcome. The trash cabinet also does not stay shut, which was a little problematic with a toddler running around. Otherwise, the kitchen was very well appointed with great appliances and it was very organized with plenty of pots, pans, and accessories for cooking. There was even a Vitamix blender which was also nice for margaritas. The kids had a great time in the bunk room, and we loved that the storm shutters blacked out the room so our kids would sleep in past sunrise. The beds were not the most comfortable. For a house as nice as this was, I would have expected higher end mattresses. Overall it was a really great stay - the only thing that might keep us from coming back is honestly the quality of the mattresses for a good night's sleep. Otherwise Morning Star is a great property! ##### Kim N.
