We had a wonderful time at the home and communication was excellent. The only note I wanted to make for future travelers is that this was 2 units next to each other. From the description we had assumed we would be in 1 house. It worked OK for our group but could make a difference for someone else. Everything with the home was clean, beautiful, and the location was ideal! Thank you for a great stay!
