Not accurate , too expensive for what we though we were getting. False advertising.
The pool was dirty, frogs and bugs . Not heated. The gazebo had boards lose, my 8 yr old kept tripping on the broken steps, their was no trampoline , the way get to the pool house from the driveway makes it difficult to get your luggage through. The air conditioning didn’t work . The owner tried to fix it but it still was so hot we could not sleep. It stopped working again. Their was so hot water for shower . We would not recommend this as a place to stay .

You’re right. The queen bed is much nicer now and has a solid wood frame. The palm trees froze last winter and have been replanted. Everything else is accurately described.
