I personally would not recommend this place, house does NOT look like the picture shown. When we got to the place, there was already people there with two big dogs. Apparently the house was over booked! With that being said very unacceptable to have your place overbooked as a host! Got my refund back thank god!
This was a great stay! Came to visit my son coming back from an 8 month deployment. We relaxed and just had a good time. The place was perfect. Had what we needed. And was very quiet.. perfect for anyone who comes and visits their military family..
The house was located in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable. And the place was perfect to invite my grandson and his family over for dinner. It was nice to come home and put clean laundry away, instead of having to wash everything when we arrived home.
It was located close to the main gate which made it easy for us to visit our son. The house was clean and the beds were so comfortable. It was perfect for our trip. The kitchen is stocked with what you need to cook (including spices). Loved our stay here!
Easy check in and check out!! Great stay after a super long day of driving and visiting for family day! The beds are super comfortable. We didn’t get to stay long unfortunately but it was a beautiful nice quiet place to stay!
Perfect for our trip. Was able to see the family and hangout and cook for them. Our pups loved the fenced yard. Very clean property. I hope we’re able to stay there again.
We came to see our Marine grandson before he left to be stationed in Okinawa. The house was clean and well supplied. It was so nice to be able to relax, watch movies and be close to restaurants without having to stay in a hotel. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We enjoyed our stay
This property was a great location. We were visiting our son that is in the military. So we were very close to Camp Lejeune.
This property accommodated all of our needs. Convenience, cleanliness, quiet neighborhood & comfort for my family and I.
The communication with the property manager & housekeeping was pleasant & in a timely manner of our questions.
When we come down to visit again we would love to rent the same property. Very good experience.
Awesome place. Literally 2 minutes from main gate where our son was. We added him to our guests list so he stayed with us in the house. Not noisy or any complaints about this place. Use the grill. Enjoy your stay. We Did!!
