The property was very cleaned and stocked compared to last VRBO's that I have booked. And with 15 women, the water pressure and heat were perfect. We did have a minor issue with a bathroom door and I messaged the property and his communication was great and there to fix it the next day. The location is perfect and felt safe and was near a Walmart to stock up on groceries and other essentials. ##### Kelly S.
