Waterscape Apartment

NathanielRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Enjoyed our stay very much at Jackie’s! The place was clean and comfortable. The only thing that might need a little work on is the water heater. We went during winter so hot water was really important. However, it was difficult to control the heater temperature which made it a little difficult since we traveled with an infant. Nonetheless, the stay was amazing and the location was fantastic!!

A modern bathroom is shown with sleek grey tiles covering the walls and floor. A spacious shower enclosure is visible, along with a minimalist white vanity featuring a circular mirror illuminated by soft lighting. A towel rack is mounted on the wall, enhancing utility.

SamRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Tracy’s home was the perfect getaway for our family. The house is not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. Traveling with two infants, we had a few extra needs, and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Communication was clear, quick, and helpful throughout our stay. We’d happily return in a heartbeat!
