This place was great for our visit to the fair. We walked there and back. We would rent this again in the future. A note to any future guests, make sure you lock your vehicles, we had some items get stolen from car. Not the host’s fault, it could happen anywhere.

Great/Clean House in Quiet Area

This was our first time staying at a Vrbo rental so was a little nervous & apprehensive about it but am happy to say I was very happy with the Chelsea Blue House. Every thing was very clean - especially the bathrooms. Lots of space to spread out & in a very quiet neighborhood which we love. We would highly recommend staying here!
