Our host answered our questions within minutes. We had trouble opening the door to the house. That being said, the place was comfortable and clean and just sweet. There were donuts waiting for us when we arrived and fresh roses in a vase. So nice. The location was perfect. My husband was at Mayo Clinic and I couldn't have asked for a better location. We just really enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much.I have one suggestion that might improve the stay. There is only one mirror. Maybe put one more mirror in the spare bedroom. Other than that small inconvenience it was great.
We spent most of our time at the hospital so not too many pictures.  But the good news is everything went wonderfully.

Great location

Not only is the house pet friendly, the entire neighborhood is. We spent a few days there and got to know a few of the neighbors and their pets. The house has a private yard which is great. The house itself was clean, super homey and has a great layout.

We had a great time! Our second time renting from this owner and she is a great decorator. She thought of everything - including dog towels and a cooler that can go to the beach. An easy 3 min walk to the beach.

Great place

This was the best VRBO I have stayed at. It was nicely furnished. The decor was in good taste. Very dog friendly even had a dog bed and towels. How cool was that. Quiet neighborhood and a block and a half to the beach. Plenty of good restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend. I would definitely stay there again.
