The house was very clean, well stocked, and well set up to spend lots of time together with family or friends. The only issue we had was that the keys were not inside the lockbox at check in, but there were alternate ways to get inside the house - all listed in the check in instructions - and the property manager was...

"The house location is amazing!! The rooms are spacious and accommodating for 8-12 guests.Take note - if you have anyone with mobility issues. B gThere is no bathroom on the top main living floor (kitchen, dining and living room with the gorgeous views!) The floor you enter the home on is the middle floor with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
