Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication, location We checked in on Saturday. Internet was not working but property manager solved that problem for us. On Sunday, we were hoping to use the griddle grill but it wasn't working and we could not contact the property manager despite leaving two messages and requesting a return call. Kitchen needs to be equipped with more wine and cocktail glasses. ##### William S.
