Very large. Nicely decorated. Pool was nice. Didn't have any issues, so limited communication with the host. Check in was easy. ##### Sara S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda G. 15 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Short Stay Has everything you need for a short stay.Pool needs a Reno but is still fine, kids enjoyed it. A/C works great.Beds are comfortable but the pillows are weak and flat.Location is great, easy to get to restaurants/shopping/beach.Kitchen is ill equipped, only 4 plates. Sliding doors were a bit wonky, one of the shutters for front window was broken, air intake on the roof was FULL of dirt/dust.Shower pressure is a trickle at best. Again, great for a short stay but needs a bit of TLC ##### Amanda G.
