Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The retreat was lovely and clean. The breeze was lovely but noise with windows open at night made sleeping difficult. An aircon in the retreat would have been nice, considering the price per night. A full length mirror would have been useful. Could not open app to see any email messages from vrbo. Only text messages. Found communication frustrating. Overall a pleasant stay though. Thank you.
