"Beautiful outlook and clean. Buggy was great. I asked for the beds in the second bedroom to be two singles but it was left together, no problem really, I just slept with my grandson. Murphy bed in the second bedroom wasn’t stable if my granddaughter rolled towards the wall (It started to fold up) so we didn’t use it. Great pool area. We enjoyed our stay."
