Great/Clean House in Quiet Area

This was our first time staying at a Vrbo rental so was a little nervous & apprehensive about it but am happy to say I was very happy with the Chelsea Blue House. Every thing was very clean - especially the bathrooms. Lots of space to spread out & in a very quiet neighborhood which we love. We would highly recommend staying here!

This place was great for our visit to the fair. We walked there and back. We would rent this again in the future. A note to any future guests, make sure you lock your vehicles, we had some items get stolen from car. Not the host’s fault, it could happen anywhere.
