The good, the bad, and the ugly.

We stayed for 5 days as a family of 8. Plenty of room and beds. Kitchen large but had ants. Upon arrival without garage lights at night, it was difficult. Inside there were piles of dead ants on the LR floor. Host installed wall lights and sent cleaners for floors dead ants and sent ant traps for kitchen. Upstairs bathroom leaked through the ceiling to the LR Floor.Host mentioned I was nitpicking. Hmmm. 3 grills mentioned in description. Only one worked. All very dirty. This property will work but needs more attention to detail. Upgrade cleaners and fix issues, and it might work.

We had an amazing stay at this property. The house was clean and spacious, providing plenty of room for us. It was perfect for our family, and we felt right at home. The host was very responsive to any requests or needs we had, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be rebooking for our next trip. Highly recommend!
