Apr 4, 2024 #### Great Location...Enough Room for the Family or Friends Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location great. Place is clean and tidy with plenty of beds, bbq, fire, tables and appliances. The bathroom is the only let down, the shower leaks and the floor stays wet because of the drainage. Constantly a wet mess. A verandah out the back would also be a bonus but you can't have everything at the reasonable rate. ##### Vaness M.
