All Worked Out

We arrived and the temperature was a chili 52. The house had no heat. We called Ashley, the Property Management person, and she promptly secured us an upgraded place to stay. Also thanks to Rick, the maintenance person for looking after our needs. The Gaskins

Rob R.

Great location. False advertising

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You cannot beat the location of this property. The people who live above the unit are very friendly and kind. We found the unit clean and cool upon arrival. We booked this property because “laundry” was included in the listing and we packed accordingly. We were a bit inconvenienced to have to leave location in search of local laundrymat (there are options). There were used wet sponges under the sink which was a bit unsanitary. If you’re over 6ft tall you may hit your head on light fixtures. Large guests may have an issue with the small toilet closet. Convert the toilet closet to a stackable washer/dryer and we’d rebook and recommend.
