The property is spotless with comfortable beds. The host does supply the laundry detergent for the washing machine which is great! The house is in a nice friendly neighborhood with a park a block away. It is in a central location to all the main attractions, which is an easy 20-30 minute drive with traffic. When we had questions the host was quick to answer. I definitely would recommend this property!

Gold Standard!!
John and Wendy are the Gold standard hosts on VRBO! We have stayed at many VRBO Properties that have been nice but none have been as well thought out for the guests! We watch Vacation House Rules and one of their bulletin points is Be Your Guest. John and Wendy have totally embraced this motto for their property! From the variety of waters in the fridge, to the breakfast bar selection, to the individual bags of chips available, to a FULLY stocked kitchen, extra linens, additional items in the medicine cabinets, assortment of games, baby supplies and the list goes on! Everything is clearly labeled to make navigating the lights, fireplace and TVs very easy! The property is super clean with supplies available if you need them during your stay. The location is great! It’s very near shopping and a ton of restaurants.
