    The property was easy to find, the location of the cottage in the neighborhood was just inside the gate. It is surrounded by trees and quiet. It is nicely decorated and had almost everything we needed. All the appliances work and the AC was super cool. The community pool was very nice.

    The cottage was very pretty and very clean and well equipped. Only issue was the clothes dryer didn't work and I called about it but no one ever came to fix it and with 6 people we needed the washer and dryer to wash towels and our clothes. The cottage was so beautiful decorated. Will be booking again in the future.
