The communication was great, super fast response time and the location of the house on the lake is lovely!
Property is well positioned and close to beaches. Very spacious with 5 beds and a sofa bed, kitchen with all amentities and 2 bathrooms. Property uses a third party messaging company that makes it difficult to communicate , otherwise overall a very comfortable stay.
