Property was very nice and in great condition overall. The only thing to be aware of is parking is very tight, especially if you are driving a large SUV or pick-up truck.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The host was welcoming.. The description was not accurate as far as unit 6 the photos show a table with chairs, but we only found this old vintage futon with holes in the vinyl. Okay for one or two nights I guess. The King size bed and the futon consumes the room which leaves not much room for luggage or anything else. Really not sure Vrbo verified the accuracy of this listing. I guess it depends on how you read between the lines when comparing listings on Vrbo making a decision based on the photos and the description will sometimes get you disappointed. Would be nice to get what you expected, since you have paid top dollar.
