This bungalow is adorable and clean! The decor is fresh, but functional. The beds and furniture were upscale and comfy. Plenty of closet space for clothing and other items. We have a small dog so it was wonderful having a fenced in yard. The backyard has pleasant landscaping with nice Adirondack chairs and an easy to use electric grill and outdoor dining table. We were close to lots of grocery stores as well as the Mayo clinic and beach. The adjustable bed was a surpring benefit! Good access to internet and new smart TVs had great pictures. The hosts are very nice and were easily contacted when we had questions. Couldn't ask for better hosts than Rick and Mindi! We will definitely stay again. ##### rick s.
