Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was not happy at all with this unit. The bathroom has not been updated since the 80's, the ice maker did not work, HOWEVER, Alicia J. Hollis brought us 2 bags of ice, and the mattress pad and therefor the sheet would not stay on the bed. Alicia & associates were great as always and I will use them again but NOT this unit.
