• Massive house with foosball table for family fun

  5/5

  This house is massive! I opened a door expecting it to be a garage. It wasn't: it was a huge 5th bedroom! It was clean and we really appreciated that the refrigerator was totally empty (we're so used to having other people's condiments left in fridges). We are so appreciative that he allowed our rotten chihuahua-mix join us. Thank you!

  The owner was so responsive and flexible and the location was ideal. We loved going to First Village Coffee and recommend it.

  We had so much fun with the foosball table, and playing hide-and-seek with the rotten chihuahua.

  Hi Julia,
  
  Thank you so much for the wonderful review—it truly means a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed the space (that “surprise” 5th bedroom gets a lot of people) and that everything felt clean and ready for your stay.
  
  I’m especially happy your chihuahua-mix was able to join the fun—we love hosting guests traveling with their pups.
  
  Great call on First Village Coffee too—that’s one of our favorites! And it sounds like the foosball table and hide-and-seek made for some great memories.
  
  You and your group were an absolute pleasure to host, and you’re always welcome back anytime.
  
  All the best,
  Oscar

  Comfortable stay. Loved the game/TV room in the basement, perfect for our teens to entertain in a different area. I also loved that there were 4 toilets for our family trip. Communication with the host was smooth and quick! Definitely recommend.

  Great communication with the property manager, Oscar. Super, prompt, responsive and helpful. I didn’t know when I booked thru VRBO that it would switch to EVOLVE and that there was a one time extra charge to VRBO, very confusing and adds to total cost.

  Hi Pam,
  
  Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad I could help make your stay smooth and enjoyable. I completely understand the confusion around the VRBO and Evolve booking process — it can definitely be unclear at times. I’ll be sure to pass along that feedback to help make things more transparent for future guests.
  
  It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!
  
  Warm regards,
  Oscar

  Great house, not great for neighborhood walking. Absolutely need a car to get around.

You’re absolutely right that having a car is the best way to get around the neighborhood, and your note will be very helpful for future guests.
