We had a fabulous family get together in this spacious, well appointed home. Beautifully furnished. Would highly recommend to anyone!
This house was everything we had hoped for! High ceilings, large comfortable bedrooms, beautiful modern bathrooms. The highlight of the house was the large pool centred in the middle of the house next to a beautiful clean bbq area. The kitchen was also super functional with everything you need. I will be definitely returning here and would highly recommend this house for your next stay.
