Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin W. 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway We had an absolutely amazing time at the house. The house was very clean and was beautiful. Lots of outside space for people to sit and hangout. The pool and hot tub was a huge hit and a top hangout spot. The kitchen was nicely stocked and organized. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and it never felt crowded. The covered basketball court was nice for the kids to play in when it got dark. ##### Justin W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kathy S. 14 Apr 2023 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing property manager Very disappointing property manager. ##### Kathy S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clay W. 4 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good place for relaxing and hanging out! The house was very nice, clean, and large. We did not feel like we were on top of one another. The bedrooms and bathrooms appeared to be just updated. The kitchen and dinning room layout allowed our large group enough room for cooking and buffet style serving. The pool was the highlight of the trip. The shaded area around the pool allowed a nice area to get out of the direct sun when you needed a break. Plenty of seating around the pool. Perfect size pool for adults and kids. Hot tub looked nice, but probably better to be used in the cool months. Nice back porch with different sitting areas for quite times. Good amount of room for parking. Overall, we had enjoyed our stay and had a fun time at the pool. ##### Clay W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023
