Wow... I was nervous with the booking due to some odd reviews. But I contacted Merrick. He informed me that all issue in the past have been fixed. He was candid, and explained his struggle with his prior management. He has since replace them with is own personal team members.
The home was spotless and true to the listing. My family and I are taking a road trip from the north east. We have spend a few nights in multiple place as we travel south. Merrick's home has a warm and homely feeling. The backyard was perfect. With it being water access, we were able to do some water activities
Overall I really like the place and even the host. He came across as sincere and honest.
