We wanted a 3 bedroom near the water that was clean and comfortable and this place delivered. Alan was accommodating and a good communicator. I like to rent directly from owners so was a little surprised to find out Alan was actually the manager of the property but it sounds like he has a good relationship with the owners so all went well. I also like neutral spaces that are set up for travelers to enjoy so we don't feel awkward like we are in someone else's home. While there were a few personal photos and evidence that this was someone's personal vacation rental it was well done and neutral enough that I didn't feel out of place.
