Kitchen was great for cooking and had all the utensils. convenient to camel back indoor waterpark. The terrace could use some chairs for sitting and drinking your coffee. The community pool was great for the kids Upon entering the home - the cleanliness could have been much better as the home was extremely dusty and the was lots of hair in the bathroom. However, I would still return to this location. ##### Drita C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shea M. 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy & Comfort Our family enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. A true definition of a home away from home. Everyone had their own sleeping areas and the children enjoyed all being in the same room. The loft area is pretty cool as well. I was able to relax and overlook what was going on downstairs. There were plenty of towels, the rules and regulations are fair. Our host responded fairly quick and addressed any concerns I may have had. The only downside I experienced is the pool closes pretty early and no microwave. I will definitely stay here again in the near future. ##### Shea M.
