Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful Easter in in the house that was spotlessly clean, had all the amenities required (plus some!) and was as described perfectly. The only disappointing issue was that the bedrooms aren't air conditioned which the profile didn't mention. However we would thoroughly recommend the property.
