The property is well appointed and has all you need. My kids and dogs loved the outdoor space; - this is shared (though not everyone uses it) but is big enough to still have privacy...its perfect for kids to have safe freedom to run and play. Bbq area also provided. Our hosts were great with all communications. Can't wait to go back!"
