Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is advertised as having a pool and spa. Neither were clean and the spa was half empty. Lack of communication from the host made us lose a night, at the property which was not reimbursed in anyway.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Well located, specious house with and spa. Some of the amenities were not in good condition for use and looked unkept (pool, grill). There were mouse droppings inside of the house in several areas.
