Place was spacious enough and a decent place to gather. The amenities were unsatisfactory. Towels were old and bleach-stained; I doubt they could even be accepted at a donation place! Toilet paper/paper towels insufficient supplies for two days even. The kitchen was not well-appointed in the least (despite advertisement). Knives were dull; three can openers, yet none worked; very cheaply done. We visited two other places in the same complex where family was staying, and for the same price, theirs were FAR superior in every respect. They even gave ours a nickname...I would not recommend this unit. The location itself was great for our gathering. Host responded immediately to answer initial question of location.

Our experience was a wonderful one for sure!!! The place was gorgeous and the area around was quaint, quiet, and peaceful, no doubt I would stay again. The home was so spacious and could really easily fit a family without being on top of each other. Highly recommend

The property was very clean and welcoming. We had some issues with finding the place, but we found it. The kids really enjoyed the space. The jacuzzi tub was a bonus.

Not a cabin.

First off...not a "cabin" as advertised. Its a Villa surrounded by several other Villas. Spacious, yes. Accommodations advertised..absolutely not. Jacuzzi tub broken but still has power running to it, slidng doors do not lock, a board was used to prevent entry. Bloodstains on curtains, stains on bedding and bed skirt, mold around entry doors, food and other debris next to refrigerator and stove, 2nd floor balcony rotting and falling apart. Various lighting throughout non functional. Smoke detectors beeping from low batteries. Netflix worked day 1 and then was blocked from it. Wifi not easily accessible. Bed had a plastic cover under the sheets making very uncomfortable, bed bug protector was shredded and in pieces and offered no protection. Headboards free standing from wall and not attached to bed frame. Dining and barstool chairs dangerously loose or broken. Several loose or broken cabinet doors and handles throughout. Bent or broken bedroom/bathroom doors throughout that did not stay open or would not close properly. Nest cameras in use but not advertised? Couldnt see them but bluetooth reader showed 3 active camers. Property owners live out of state, so whoever they have for housekeeping and maintenanc, they are paying too much. Nickles used as spacer to help latch sliding doors..they still didnt lock. This was a bad experience all the way around. sr

Loved everything about this place! Only 1 downfall- there was plastic on all of the beds. I totally understand,but did not enjoy sleeping on plastic. Other than that, stay here! It was great!
