Place was great, loved the layout. The living room furniture and dining room chairs were a little worn/stained but honestly that made us worry less about our littles hurting it. The only real complaint is the charcoal grill and wifi. The tiny grill was very cheap and one leg is rusted to the point it’s not stable. We had trouble with the wifi working, but the host did provide an alternative wifi as soon as I contacted them. The speed on both wifi connections was very slow to the point it wasn’t useful at all. But, that very well could have been the internet service provider, and not the host’s fault. We did love the place and enjoyed our stay. The pool was the perfect temp and the kids love that it lit up with lights that changed colors. And again, the host was very friendly and responsive. Thanks!!!
