This property exceeded all of our expectations from the photos alone! The pool was incredible, and every room was spotless and beautifully decorated. Having a private bathroom in each bedroom was such a great perk. The kitchen and dining area were spacious, and overall, this was truly one of my favorite vacation properties I’ve ever stayed in.The only thing to note is that while a hot tub is included, there is an additional charge to have it heated, which we weren’t aware of at first. Aside from that, communication with the rental company was excellent—quick, clear, and helpful. All of the perks that came with our stay made the experience even better. We will definitely be booking this property again!
