Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janice G. 4 Jun 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy The picture of the house is lovely but misleading since the actual Vrbo is in a side building. There wasn’t a lockbox as mentioned in the description,the door was unlocked and the key inside on table,We had no idea where we were supposed to enter.The kitchen is on main level but living room,bedroom,and bathroom were all upstairs and steps were quite steep.Again,this wasn’t explained in description-we both are older and have knee problems so wouldn’t have rented because of steps if we had been aware.Having said all that,the host responded promptly to our questions and concerns.There is a lovely dock leading out onto the water with a great seating area. Nice balcony and porch with nice view.Quiet and relaxing area ##### Janice G.
