This is a cute little house with a great pool. The location is close to a lot of food and shopping options. The beds varied in firmness so it’s worth checking out which work best for you. We adored the pool the most. The kitchen has limited materials so I recommend bringing spices and cookware. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
