Great location

The home was very clean and in a great location. Walking distance to a lot! The only negative was the check in and check out times were firm and not flexible. We felt 4pm check in was a little late and 10am check out was early. Very kid / baby friendly, they had baby gates and a high chair at the home as well as a pack and play!

Great location and gorgeous property.

My family and friends stayed for two nights. The house was super clean, well appointed, close to the main strip, and communicating with the property manager was super easy. The street was quiet and being able to have your doggo with you made this spot pretty perfect. Would love to visit again!
