The home was exactly as described and as shown on VRBO. It is located in a gated community and has been well maintained. We were able to experience wonderful sunsets from the balcony and have our meals outside as well. The bedrooms were spacious and every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was amazing and I think it’s a great home for a large family travelling or a group of friends
