I traveled with my husband, out 12 year old daughter and 14 year old son. This home gave us room to spread out. My son and daughter, who get along well but sleep very differently, were able to have their own rooms which was nice.
My husband and I enjoyed coffee on the back patio in the mornings while it was still a bit cool. This also let the kids sleep in as much as we could. I could see enjoying evening drinks out side, but we were too tired by the time we got home each night!
The location is about a mile from the quarter. Although it is walkable, we felt more comfortable driving as we would be returning after dark and just felt safer. The street going toward the quarter has several properties that are in the process of being remodeled. At least 3 of the mornings on our way out, we saw the same three boys playing with a soccer ball in the front yard. Most people I saw in the street, exchanged some sort of friendly greeting.
There is a business right next door~Lock and key, if I recall correctly. They were completely quiet. We were there Monday - Saturday, so they were open. There is also a busy hospital just down the street(busy according to our friend who is a doctor at a different local hospital). We never any ambulances or anything.
We had breakfast and dinner at the home a couple of times each. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. There is a dining table for 4 and kitchen counter to eat at, so space was pleantiful.
Communication is okay. The property manager called me to see when we would be arriving and I texted her to let her know that we were there. She replied promptly. Shortly afterward, I texted with a question to which I never got a response.
I did get an email from Daryl every morning to check on things. The first day I asked him the same question. The next days email came telling me that he was glad things were good. To which I responded, did you read my email? My final email came at 10 in the morning and began with a greeting referring to it being evening and the next morning being my check out. This leads me to believe that the emails are prescripted and auto sent, which is fine. I get it, but if you're not going to read the responses, don't send them. As a vacationer, I don't want to have to read or reply to emails anyway.
All in all, I would suggest this property. I didn't mention, but it was clean as well.
