Everything was perfect. It was clean and what a view !!The house was well stocked with everything you possibly need. Just bring your favorite meat ( for grill) and your toothbrush.
Pros:- Great location / views- Clean- Prompt communicationCons:- Felt more run down than depicted in photos, esp for price (water pressure issues - when shower was on sink water wouldn't work, light bulbs out in dining room lights, remote for TV not working, etc.). No one issue was dealbreaker but as a collective whole it really put a dent on the experience- Heat / cooling is a major issue; property is 3 floors, which means with the heat on the top floor was extremely hot but bottom floors were super cold (and 1 tiny space heater was not enough). Two of the bedrooms are downstairs so think wisely about booking if you are sensitive to temperatureWould rethink booking as there are better options in area for similar price point.
