Awesome Hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and is convenient to everything. The cleaner had done an excellent job before we got there. We enjoyed the screened in porch. The only problem we had was figuring out the dishwasher. I felt like another lamp could have been used in the living room since we spent a lot of time reading. The owners have put a lot of time, thought and money into the house and it is evident.
