Had great stay at hippo hut!

We had a family gathering for two nights at the hippo hut. We were all very impressed with the property! It was clean, spacious, and in close proximity to the beach. The a/c worked great and was a welcomed change in temperature after being at the beach all day. The owner was quick to respond to questions I had leading up to our arrival. One adjustment I would make is the ping pong paddle handles were broke, making it difficult to use the ping pong table. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again!
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 31, 2023
Thank you so much for your review and noting the broken paddle handle. We will get more paddles. You and your family are welcome anytime at the Hippo Hut!
