Stay was really welcoming. A very cute place to stay. I had a few questions and luckily the host was very quick to answer. I even thought I left something and was not only able to go back but the host even offered to let me know if they found it. Would definitely stay here again

Place was quiet and cozy for our short stay during Labor Day weekend. The bed was comfortable, AC was cold, and decor was nice. The private gate added a sense of privacy and safety. Cleanliness could have been a bit better but other than that it was a lovely stay.

We had a great stay for the week. Due to the weather, we didn't get to enjoy the pool like we would have liked. Overall, the place was perfect size and comfortable for the two of us. Specifically, I enjoyed the fireplaces and the smaller living room space that had a computer monitor provided so that I could hook up my laptop and continue to do work from. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and we slept great. We appreciated the fact that there was a washer and dryer on site. The host was quick to respond and communicated well! We would stay again! Thank you!

Lovely little haven

A little haven of a property! We planned to go to the beach at least one day whilst we were there, but instead we ordered Instacart, and barely moved from the pool! Superb! Host was great! Speedy to reply to any questions and has thought of everything you might need for a few days of sitting in a pool and enjoying those around you

I have had a very unhappy experience due to several issues.Upon arrival, the pool was filthy and unusable also, there are were broken and dangerous pocket doors which are falling off the tracks, and separately, there is exposed wiring coming from the pocket wall getting caught in the rollers, posing a safety hazard.The place had also not been cleaned before we got there; I believe the cleaning staff should be terminated, as there was bird poop on the tables that appeared to have been there for weeks, and all of the outdoor furniture cushions were moldy and not usable.Additionally, nothing in the kitchen worked, forcing us to use an outdoor kitchen that had no lighting.Furthermore, the host took two days to respond to our issues, which is an unacceptable delay given the severity of the problems and made no attempt to correct any of the problems.Finally, the dryer would not heat enough to dry clothes, and the lint filter was completely clogged, posing a serious fire risk.The final straw was discovering the property had two undisclosed cameras facing the pool, which is a total violation of Vrbo's policy
