Our stay overall was good. Location is great.Unit was a little tired and worn. Rugs were very dirty. Believe the detailed description and bring almost everything with you. No condiments at all and or napkins and sandwich bags.Need more bedding for cool nights and plates and cups, no mugs were pretty beat up. Also some towel rack would be very helpful. Pretty sad that on top of the fees they want to charge you for toddler sand toys.Check in and out was very easy and communication was very good.
