The unit was very clean and easily accessible. I would definitely use a small car or small SUV. There is limited space, as it is up a steep grade. There is also little room to turn around if your vehicle is large. We did not have internet and cable during our stay (and with two teenage boys this was a little challenge). We didn't come on vacation for internet, but it is nice to have TV when enjoying family time and decompressing from sightseeing, etc. The pool was very nice. The unit was cozy, and it was easy to cook meals in. I messaged the host the first night about the internet/cable, but never got a reply. However, I did reach out to VRBO, and I was able to get a credit for the internet/cable issue. This was very nice of them. Overall, it was a very nice stay.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2026
