"I was a very nice stay in a clean home, very impressed. The next statement are improvement suggestions. We had to clean the grill before using it. The grease trap underneath the burners was pretty thick and a potential fire hazard. The patio can use better lighting. The base of tub needs a new bead of chalking. The Brita water pitcher is cracked on the bottom and leaked in the refrigerator. We washed the hammock that smelled like dog my wife said. All in all a very nice comfortable stay."

"This three-bedroom two bath house was perfect for our stay. It was clean and well-furnished and, while there were only two people for the stay, it could sleep up to nine. It was comfortable and there was street parking available. There was a great view of the sunset. We chose a house over a hotel because we needed a full-sized refrigerator and this rental met our needs. The location was convenient to the airport (you can hear the planes) and convention center and just a few blocks from Little...

"Had a great time! I booked a last minute stay due to an issue at my last hotel, i booked it around 10:45pm and arrived 15 minutes later to find that my room card, parking permit, and all other info was already set up. Shiela at the front desk was so kind and friendly. The room was clean, the mini fridge is perfect, the wifi works great, and there is a microwave in the lobby for 24/7 use. The continental breakfast was awesome with coffee, juice options, and even a fresh waffle bar! I didn’t get to try the gym or the pool but they both seemed clean and i’ll definitely be retuning!"
