10/10 Excellent
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was fantastic. The only complaint that we could say is that the tub in the Master bedroom was very slick when using the shower. We fixed that as we bought a bathmat and left it at the unit for others to use. We loved the location, the view and the wildlife that came to visit us while we were staying there. The pool and the hot tub were incredible. We hope to go back one day and stay."
