We enjoyed the property, location, and house. It is a lovely home and well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, etc.
It was clean and well organized for first timers.
The only negative is a significant one. The property is listed as having a king size bed. This was THE amenity that was our primary requirement. Unfortunately, the listing is inaccurate and there is no king bed in the house. Had we known that the largest bed was a queen, then we would not have rented this property. We left early as not wanting to sleep in the queen bed another night. We wish the king bed was there, as it was advertised to be, and we would have loved the property completely.
