Overall a very enjoyable stay; very close to the beach and a nice pool
Really enjoyed our time in this house! The cooks were fantastic, service was great and the overall experience made for a great week of vacation. There were some repairs/upkeep pieces that would be helpful but overall nothing major. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is the marketing is a bit misleading. It says that 12 people can fit in what we paid/booked. It shows pictures for ALL the properties on VRBO but you are only renting a portion which is not only unclear but misleading and misrepresenting. We were expecting more rooms, a better pool and overall more space that didn't actually happen because the pictures aren't associated with the specific property we booked. We booked for 12 people and there were only 7 bed spaces. They did accommodate us somewhat by bring in pool loungers for our kids to sleep on and arranged mosquito nets. So while were accommodated, it was a bit disappointing because we were led to believe that we were booking something different than what we received. Overall we would book again with the right knowledge and proper clarification on what is actually included.

オフシーズンだったので、、
オフシーズンだったこともありますが、閑散としていました。外気が部屋にも入るオープンなコテージで日中は気持ちがいいのですが、夜は蚊に悩まされました。
