Sep 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great location The location and house were great. The advertisement though was a little misleading the pool was not heated and had to contact owner if you wanted to use. Also no where in the advert does it mention that there is cameras in the house. I would not have booked the property if I had of known. The code we were emailed was incorrect, but the property manager did fix it promptly. ##### John N. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024
