Washer and dryer in unit, only problem was the dryer was not heating up. Everything else was perfect. There is only 1 TV that is located in the living room.

Family vacation

Plenty of room for everyone, shared pool (the people below us were cool so no issues with all the kids) if you’re wanting to stay somewhere and cook and not eat out this is the place. Not too many cooking utensils or knife for cutting or cooking so you’ll need to bring your own. Dryer is slow to dry as well but if you’re not in a hurry it’s just fine.

Nice little spot to stay at while on vacation

Very clean and nice home but lack of tv's and hot tub was on a timer so that's was a bummer. Also noticed the fridge not connected to water so there was no water or ice available. Bay smell was a down side too.
