Blessed mom M.

Overall our stay was okay and we made the best of our weekend. The house worked for what we needed, but there were a couple issues. My kids noticed a roach during our stay which made them a little uncomfortable. We also had repeated trouble with the keypad lock. Almost every time we left and returned, it wouldn’t work and we couldn’t get back in. After the third time calling about it, we were finally given the lockbox code where the physical key was located so we could access the house. Other than those issues, we still managed to enjoy our time together.

Loved the historic feel of the place, and the banana trees in the yard were great. The house was very clean and ready to go. No problems at all.Bathtub needed a slip guard of some kind - a little tricky.
