The house was neat and tidy, with a large yard. Very convenient to stores and restaurants. Downside: large black ants in the kitchen and sheer curtains on all of the windows. No privacy.

Clean and comfortable

We’re a family of five and this was a perfect stay for us. Comfortable, clean, nothing fancy, just what we needed with no frills. The yard is beautiful and I love that it’s all fenced in. Made me feel very safe that my little ones could play outside with minimal supervision. Would definitely stay here again.
