Edward was great from initially checking in to checking out. He proactively reached out with instructions which included gates codes, pass codes for the digital deadbolt lock, and the WiFi password. When we walked in the house was clean from top to bottom, it even smelled clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, and pots/pans. It was a home away from home. We went with 3 other families with kids whose age range from 3-12. Between the swimming pool, putting green, fire pit for s’more’s, game room, it’s needless to say they were well entertained. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend Edward’s house for families looking for that oasis getaway.
