Great/Clean House in Quiet Area

This was our first time staying at a Vrbo rental so was a little nervous & apprehensive about it but am happy to say I was very happy with the Chelsea Blue House. Every thing was very clean - especially the bathrooms. Lots of space to spread out & in a very quiet neighborhood which we love. We would highly recommend staying here!

Cute, clean, spacious, fabulous location, awesome host....

Adult review: Highly recommend! The home is spacious, has comfortable beds, fun games to play, a well stocked kitchen, clean, and is in a great location! The hosts were responsive and we would definitely stay here again! Teen review (4 girls): The ping pong table is totally fire! The layout was perfect for us to have our "apartment" of sorts downstairs. So many games and other things provided.

This is our 2nd time staying here and will again if we need to be back in the area. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is well stocked. There is a beautiful fire pit and a comfy sunroom. Just a lovely property exactly where we needed it for being near the veterinarian school. The hosts are very nice and helpful.

Cozy with Character

We had a small quiet gathering here for my friend’s bachelorette. It was the perfect place for a fun night to watch bridal movies, eat snacks and chat. The place was very well updated and decorated and had a lot of character and charm. The owners were also accommodating of the non-shedding service dog one of our guests had to bring for medical reasons. Plenty of parking on the street. Great location with lots of restaurants/activities nearby to enjoy! Would visit this home again.
