Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The host was easy to message with and happy to coordinate running the pool heater for our stay in late August. This rental is attached to the pool house (separate entrance with bonus room, bathroom, and sauna). The main rental house was bright and relaxing. The upstairs room felt special to our daughter as her bedroom. Overall great location for a relaxing staycation vibe.
