Property was clean and functional. The mattresses could definitely use an upgrade and an addition fan could be utilized in the house, as the AC does not work that well in the back rooms. The property was beautiful, but keep in mind that the “waterfront/waterfview” is not necessarily waterfront/waterview, it is a small walk, nothing major but just noted. Was nice to have washer and dryer, and definitely loved the “pet friendly”, property, overall property was great.
