Summary: The house was perfect! Plenty of space for our family and the views and the pool were amazing.The hosts were great to respond when we had a question. Plenty of towels and plates, silverware, etc. Really the only problem we ran into was locating the house because the entrance is kind of hidden so make sure to pay attention to the instructions
