Lovely summer vacation
We loved our stay. Clean and neat. The air conditioner didn’t reach the bedroom so it got a little hot at night. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Unreliable
After numerous confirmation emails to both my guest and myself. As well as speaking to the host our VRBO was canceled the day we were to arrive! After driving 10 hours we had no place to stay! Host would no longer answer his phone, and we were given the excuse of a flood with little to no rain in the area! Felt scammed and had nowhere to stay at 5pm.
