While we were extremely saddened by this, family is most important and therefore the loss of money on the rental didn't seem so important. We had contacted Alix with the bad news and she was very concerned and sent her thoughts and prayers. She went above and beyond listing the property on many sites to cover some of our loss cost. In the end she was able to return a portion of the rental money which was appreciated very much as we know this is a loss to her as well. When you have great rental owners you know they take pride in their property and that makes the stay much more enjoyable! ##### Bridget S.
