So accommodating! I thoroughly enjoyed my time! The drop off and pick up option from the airport was fantastic. The van was very cozy and stocked with everything you need. The yeti cooler being included was so awesome! I opted in for the paddle board and it was such a cool part of my trip. All of my questions were answered immediately. As a solo traveler I can’t express enough how much this means to me.

The RV was perfect. Minor issue with the battery but Brendon (our host) arrived within 90 minutes and installed a new battery. He followed up the next day to assure everything was working. Great communications and response to our needs. The trailer was absolutely perfect. Could not ask for a better experience.
