Everything was there that we needed except we ran out of WiFi Data and reception for TV not great. Other than that the property is in a quiet private area which was awesome as we haven’t caught up with family for over 2 years with Covid. Highly recommend for large family or groups 😊🌸

A house with too many keys and no security as all the doorway is protected with a screen door. Do not choose it if you go with your family.
