This was much nicer than expected. We stayed in a 3 bdrm unit - two couples. It was very roomy, had an excellent kitchen including stove, a backyard BBQ, comfortable bedrooms/beds/bathrooms. Note that laundry is not in the unit - description on Expedia is a little misleading - but free washer, reasonable price on dryiing.
