Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
David and Kelly were excellent hosts. We had a smooth check-in. They reached out multiple times to check if we needed anything. We didn't.The property looked to have most - if not all - new furnishings. It was well decorated. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed.The pool was in great shape. We didn't use them, but the kayaks looked to be in good shape as well - the surrounding area looked to be worthy of exploring.Our stay was quite enjoyable!
