The property was great but the outdoor tv would not connect and that was disappointing. Would have been a great property if the outdoor tv would have worked.

Beautiful property. Great location. Very clean and well stocked. Very comfortable beds as well.The criticism that we have is that it was never communicated to us that the owner of the property doesn't allow the heater for the hot tube to be used. It was very disappointing and we felt somewhat tricked (the hot tub was one of the reasons we booked the property in the first place). It's unfortunate because the house was otherwise fantastic.
