Overall the property was excellent. The host was very responsive and accommodating, allowing us the check out at noon. The kitchen was as well stocked, except for paper towels. Granted, we did not ask but there did not seem to be any in the kitchen area (until the delivery on Sunday morning! Ha! Ha!). Suggestions: add task lighting under the kitchen cabinets, and add usb ports to outlets in the kitchen and bedrooms.The hot tub was wonderful!!
