"The property was in good shape for the most part. The patio door would stick probably due to moisture expanding the door. Also, there was some water damage to the bottom of the door frame in the bathroom. I know from my own experience that if the bathroom door frame is not sealed, bugs would love to make a home there with the added moisture from the shower."

The kitchen was great. Everything was clean, and the suite was so cozy! The staff was fabulous and super accomadating! The only bad thing about this place is that it is popular and hard to book another stay. :-("
