Disliked: Cleanliness
Only stay at this property if you want a door that doesn't close, doesn't lock, if you want steep stairs without a rail to get up to the queen bed, or if you want to sleep on the first floor on a small day bed with a trundle bed underneath that has a very thin mattress. It is advertised as having a queen bed and 2 twin beds, and for 4 renters, but that isn't true. When we called the owner, he said it comfortably sleeps 3, even though he knew we had 4. He also sent us a message on how to unlock the door and when I told him it was unlocked and didn't lock, he said he leaves it unlocked for people coming. When we told him that it wasn't safe to stay and we were leaving to find another place, he refused to give us a total refund. The owner is not fair and argumentative. If you are over 65, as the 4 of us are, we suggest that you find another property. This is a very small trailer on wheels.

Nous avons adoré regarder le soleil se lever sur l’eau devant nous. Puis observer la faune en prenant un café au soleil sur la petite terrasse. Très propre et charmant.
