So pleased you like the location and warm pool, Rachel. Hope you have some great memories of your stay.
Very accurate description, new house and well stocked with eg kitchen stuff. Not 5 stars simply because there is an unusual layout that would make it harder for 8 people to stay there.
We would stay again
