Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mindy F. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun and central This place is adorable! We loved staying at the pink flamingo house. There are a few things I think others need to be clear on that I was not. There is not an oven and only a portable double burner. So if you’re wanting to cook and that is the main reason for renting a house it might be difficult like it was for us to do so . The fridge is also very small. There is a bed in the main room so it’s not exactly two bedrooms. The host is very nice and the place is decorated nicely and has a very inviting warm feel. ##### Mindy F.
