After you return to this 2260-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the internet, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware.
