The house was great and clean. Everything worked as should. This area was also very nice. Right next to some great places to eat and just right down the road from pretty much everything. Highly recommend
This stay was lovely. The home is spacious and tidy, well equipped. Be prepared for long waits on the bridges to the different beaches. The home is close to beaches, but traffic makes the trips 30-45 minutes long. We would stay here again. An umbrella/chairs/cooler/sand toys to take to the beach would make this place extra special. There are some worn out camp chairs included. We didn't use them.
The open floor plan & high ceilings made this home feel so large. Plenty of linens and toiletries. Clean and ample kitchen supplies. Location was close to restaurants. Host was very responsive to our questions. Had an issue with insects - but found bug spray under sink in the kitchen. Reported the issues and again they were apologetic. We would stay here again and highly recommend the management service.
This was a beautiful home in a great location
Friendly City Fun is nicely furnished and includes 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 nice baths. Lots of towels! We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home that feels quite new. The basketball goal was a big hit with the grandson.
Great house, clean, lots of amenities, up to date, close to everything. Very comfortable for 4-6 people
