We had kids with us who loved the pool. It was in a secluded, private backyard area which was very attractive. The house was attractive, well appointed and well decorated and had all of the amenities anyone could want. It was within walking distance of restaurants, shops and attractions.

This was a great stay and the perfect property and location. This was a family getaway for myself and my family of 6. It had everything we needed and more. We truly enjoyed the space the pool and the location. It’s in a great location with n KW for all the things we wanted to do and had every convenience and the host was great at communicating and making sure everything was taken care of. This was truly an unforgettable vacation getaway to the perfect home away from home.
