It was nicely furnished, clean and well stocked. Communication with Jo was very responsive. We especially enjoyed the porch on the sunny afternoons. ##### Peggy S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully updated, great location and very responsive host. My wife and adult daughter stayed there for 9 days and loved it. We have stayed in 5 or 6 other VRBOs over the years and this was the best by far. I was very impress with the high end appliances and bathroom. We rented our vacation place out for a period before we retied so I know what it takes to make it a luxurious retreat. They did that. If I could give them a 6, I would but the clear just goes to 5. And I am a very tough customer. Please excuse the gushing, but this is top notch. ##### David S. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2025
