Great property and location

We really enjoyed our stay and I will be recomending this property to friends and family (especially pet owners - we didnt bring our dogs down this time but the backyard is a good size and very secure) Our only issue was towels - it is flagged on the property listing that towels arent included but I think this could be clearer. I would have appreciated a reminder in the pre check-in emails to BYO or pay for towels. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
