Other things to note There are two security cameras on site located outside near the roof and at the entranceway, they are pointed at the driveway and entranceway. They do NOT record inside the house. The camera is Ring. They are motion sensors.
If you see a square box in the living room in the corner, that is NOT a camera, that is a motion detector for the windows to prevent break-ins. We have documentation to prove it is a motion detector only.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
