Thanks again Crystal, Alex for making a short weekend easy, friendly and very comfortable. Golf Cart was a bonus and served well going down memory lane.

It was Great above what we expected. Extremely clean and organized. Never did see the Neighbor dog. Did find evidence a dog been there in the lawn where they had left their poop. But I cleaned it up. Can’t find a problem one I would complain about at all. Kitchen is very stocked with every utensil dishes, pots, and pans you need. Plenty of towels and soap and everything you need laundry stuff very well stocked. The house is very welcoming bright shiny looks new. Doesn’t look like anybody’s ever stayed there before. It’s extremely well kept. The lawn is clean and nice. Back patio was nice never didn’t get to use the fire pit, but it was there and ready to go. If I had to bring up one thing whatsoever, it would be and that’s because I like a fan in my bedroom ceiling fan so I like. Yes I do with each room had a ceiling fan to keep the air circulated better. But that’s nothing really. We will probably stay there again next year. Hopefully we can book it. Pricing was great. Thank you.
