Communication with host was easy, home very clean but very dated. Would have been even better if the hot tub worked, but the pool and view was lovely.

Beautiful View of the Bay
Beautiful View of the Bay, didn’t like the check in process had to meet someone at the house to give us the key and he walked around inside the house with us. Only 1 TV in the house and it didn’t work, but we didn’t text the owner, we were fine without. We enjoyed the pool!

Family vacay
Our family had the best time. House was clean, roomy, the views of the water was amazing. The pool was awesome. Caught a lot of fish. Everyone was happy the whole time. We will definitely be going back. Host was so very nice and gave good tips on the fishing.
