Everything was as advertised. The only thing I would suggest is putting some non-slip material on the stairs as we had two people fall in the rain otherwise facility was great.

Pictures obviously don't tell an accurate story. Rooms are small, especially the kitchen and eating area. Many of the bedrooms were sparsly furnished. Kitchen didn't have a towel to dry the dishes. Outside garbage cans were overflowing with trash. Owner must have control of the air conditioning as the temperature setting continued to move up to and uncomfortable temperature. Hulu was available for the first few days and then wasn't. House was not worth the price we paid!!!!
