A luxury 5-star experienceWe were fortunate to be one of the first families in this stunning rental. It is gorgeously designed, loads of fun, and meticulously thoughtful. We played ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard, and enjoyed the dip pool. But more important, every detail is considered and labeled. We enjoyed the rooftop deck, the outdoor loungers, and everything was labeled and conveniently located. Couldn't recommend this rental more highly.
