"Everything was good- howeverthere was an exceptional amount of communication. All I can say was there were entirely.” too many words and too many text & emails.”. Other than that, the property was very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. . the outside patio could use some work with furniture, decorations, etc.. the bedroom definitely absolutely needs some blackout drapes. Vacation requires sleeping in!!!! I would recommend this particular unit and might consider going back. We’ll see.."
