This was the perfect house for our family vacation. There is plenty of room to accommodate everyone. We will be choosing this house again. The upper driveway is steep but there is plenty of parking on the lower driveway.
This property is wonderful it’s inside a gated community and beautiful. It comes stocked with everything you need for a quick weekend or a month. Was very accommodating with an early check in. Check out was a breeze. Thank you for being such great host.
