Appreciated the yummy Crumble cookies waiting for us when we arrived and especially appreciated the super easy check-out process that did not require a long list of “to-dos”. Really helpful when trying to catch a flight with a lot of kids. Will definitely book again. ##### Camille A. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ali A. 22 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We lost two days of our travel planning because we had to leave this property and find another place! The information about the property and facilities were incorrect! Some amenities in the house were in bad condition and the Lagoon has been closed since a month before and the host did not let us know at the time of booking! They should compensate us for losing two days of our stay that we totally lost! ##### Ali A.
