Family fun.

Stayed for our traditional end of the summer family trip. We had such a great time in this clean and spacious house. There were a couple of problems with the TV in the living room, but I messaged the property manager and she resolved the issues in record time. I 100% recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun family outing. I will definitely reserve this place again for my family to enjoy.
