This was the most well stocked VRBO property I have stayed at! The shower was really nice and the tub drained properly, which isn't always the case. The house was clean and comfortable. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and I was happy the house had a parking spot and not street parking. The yard was not exactly dog safe, there were some slats missing in the fence and not really any grass, but we had a great time and I would stay at this property again.
