Family vacation

Outdoor furniture was not comfortable to sit in.but the bar was nice and games fun. Would have preferred a charcoal grill. Living room furniture was awkward as cushions slid out and too deep to just sit. When 2 people sat on it felt like it would give way at any moment.

Just ok

The house was as described and ok. However, it moved around constantly, as in it shook the bed as we slept on it. Additionaly, it did not have big pans to cook in. We also had an emergency as my son locked the bottom lock on the door knob and there was NO key on the lockbox to get in. The property manager was quick to come out to throw in all the balcony furniture inside, due to predicted weather - which was also an inconvenience to our space, but did not come when we were locked out. I figured it out myself and was able to get in. The deadbolt ONLY is controlled by a PIN and Avant kept trying to give me a PIN number even after I clestly told them a PIN will not open the door knob lock as it was NOT digital. I would not stay at this house again. Not recommended.

Cute property

This really was a nice property for our family of ten that stayed. The listing said 4 double beds in a room and it was really a double bunk bed with a twin trundle. So just take that into consideration. We had one kid not be able to come so it worked out but otherwise would have been cramped for the kids. There were some outdoor games but the ladder all was missing the things you toss. The fire pit had no propane in it. When I asked about the propane for the grill I was told to bring my own refill if it was empty. I think it’s that’s something included in the amenities of the property it should be taken care of by The property. It was fine though, the grill had propane and we were able to use it. The kitchen wasn’t very well equipped for cooking large meals so if you have a large group and plan on cooking all your meals take that into consideration. Otherwise it was very roomy and we had games nights several nights on the big kitchen table. We had some noisy neighbors one night but the homes are very close together so it’s to be expected. I would recommend this place and would stay again.
