So great!
Location is A+, and the team managing the property were so responsive. We had all of the properties for a group of 7 couples. Decent kitchen facilities, adorable (though small) pool, very comfy beds. But seriously the best part was how responsive and nice the team was. Thank you!! Highly recommend!

Perfect location-great hosts
Location is unbeatable. Great place. What set it apart, however, was how incredibly responsive the hosts were both before and during the stay. I had an answer from them within minutes. That went a long way to make this trip so well worth it. Thanks, hosts!
