This place had everything you need in the kitchen and enough seating for everyone during meal times. All rooms were clean. View was beautiful. However, the pool had significant algae growth and the water was very murky. Kids still had a good time and the house had floaties available for the kids. Host was VERY responsive anytime we had an issue. Would recommend 10/10

Be very careful when renting this property. They make you sign a lot of paperwork and send you confirmation that everything is approved and ready. Then, less than a day before your stay, they cancel your reservation without giving you any reason. By that point, you already have everything planned and prepared, and you end up losing everything. It honestly seems like a scam.

Some minor cleaning improvements could be made both inside and outside the house. Master bed was sunken in in the middle and noticed that the slats were missing under the mattress. Some of the shared equipment between the house and the cottage could be placed in a better position to make it less awkward. Otherwise the communication was great, we had the best time and it is a beautiful house and location.
