Lovely modern home and great amenities. Sleeping arrangements and comfort are important to me and cleanliness. Everyone enjoyed their beds but I don't care for the deep foam memory mattresses that turned out to be mine in the master br. (I still slept pretty well considering) a partially working grille was essentially minor considering we didn't use it daily. Host was very quick to respond to ALL our needs and was pleasantly surprised the main fam room had updated furniture from the VRBO ad. We all really enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was still on the warmer side. A great place for families or small group. ##### D H.

Suggestions for property: hand rail on side steps, kuerig, salt/pepper, condiment packets, and coffee filters. One towel per person for a week is not acceptable, the coffee maker is so slow, the dishwasher is painful to get working, and most people use kuerig now, not sure why there is not one on property. Also, the amount of weeds around the landscaping needs to be addressed. I will say that with the issues we had, the property manager responded quickly to resolve. ##### Tammy G.

We did see water leaking in the utility closet in the basement that reached the carpet, but we called and hopefully they get that repaired. Everything else went well and we had a nice stay. We would recommend: having salt / pepper spices (you have sea salt, but regular salt and no pepper) thanks! ##### Erika R.
