Great communication
Overall we love this house. Some maintenance needs to be updated but once I addressed these issues with the property manager Mana I knew she would address them. We booked again for next year

Pleasant Stay
We really enjoyed staying at the Wise Potato Chip House. Every year we travel to stay @ VRBO house with our current family of 10. This was one of our best family vacations that we ever had. Beautiful views, great out doors, enough bathrooms for everybody, same with bedrooms , Game room was fun for all , although darts are a little dangerous with so many young children around. The only drawbacks that we had were cold pool ( heater was not raising pool temp above outside air) The kids had to get out after an hour or so to warm up. Internet was spotty at best. This is the only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 rating, otherwise it would have been a 5.
