The only issues we had were the beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. The king-size bed mattress was wrapped in some kind of plastic or other material that made it very hot for my husband. It was just very uncomfortable and too hard for our taste. We found the one in the back bedroom the most tolerable. The other issue was there were a lot of flies and little nit like flies in the house. It seemed like they came out of nowhere no matter how many we were able to kill. Otherwise, great location, property and management. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Reina D. Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Disappointing Stay with Serious Issues\*\* While this property has a lot of potential due to its beautiful design and location, our stay was marred by multiple significant issues that cannot be overlooked. 1. \*\*Safety Concerns\*\*: The back door knob was broken, making it impossible to open, which posed a serious fire hazard. It also meant we couldn't access the barbecue grill, which was disappointing. 2. \*\*Severe Kitchen Issues\*\*: The kitchen sink was leaking, and it’s clear this is not a new problem. The area around it was rotted, and towels were stuffed under the sink to absorb the water. This created a terrible odor and was a breeding ground for flies.
