Vasca service is horrible.
The property was nice, but we planned on Bbqing our meals and the propane was empty and the bbq was very dirty. The charcoal bbq was disgusting. Not sure if it had ever been cleaned. Reached out to has an and I’ll I could get was AI generated responses saying they will handle it. They finally gave me the number to the owner and he was great. He needs to dump vasca! The outdoor bathroom had wasp nests in the shower curtain and was gross! We were there to celebrate my son’s birthday. The fishing was good. The dock ladder broke trying to get outta the water. Other than that we had a good time.
