Nice looking property. Ac doesn’t work. The place doesn’t get above 80 degrees even at night. All the towels were stained. Roaches and bugs all over. Plus strange people walking around all types of hours of night.

Family Fun Weekend
This property is the perfect place to stay for a reunion or a family celebration. It was clean, spacious and the kitchen was well stocked for making meals. The outdoor space also allows for more spaces to celebrate. The property location is close enough to down town and easy to access from major road ways. We would book again if the opportunity occurs.
