Nice property in a quiet neighborhood

This is a cute older home with well manicured lawn. The neighborhood is well established with a lot of the homes recently being updated. A perfect place for a couple to relax and enjoy the area.

Hot May Nights

We enjoyed our stay at this property, however, the A/C could not keep up with the hot May nights. During the day, I was able to monitor the temperature but when we left the house around 4PM and came back at 8PM, the house temperature would range between 77 - 85 degrees when the thermostat was set at 72. The property manager did manage to get the temperature corrected one night but it slowly climbed back up again around our 4th night. Other than that, the house was perfect. I would stay again as long as I had assurance the A/C is working properly.
