Allerdings lag bei unserer Ankunft ein toter Vogel auf einem der Sessel am Pool. Dieser Vogel lag schon ein paar Tage dort, also kann die Reinigung nicht unmittelbar vorher erfolgt sein. Der Vogel wurde aber mitsamt Polster direkt nach der Reklamation von Andy entsorgt. Das Schloss in der Haustür sollte mal gewechselt werden, es hakt ständig. Die Manatees hinter dem Haus waren eine Attraktion, die wir sehr genossen haben. Wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder mieten. A+W aus Düsseldorf ##### Wolfgang M. Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2022
