The villa is equipped with newer energy saving appliances, fans and AC units to keep costs at a minimum. If you decide to use the BBQ, please ensure that the grill, the bottom and the metal grease tray are cleaned after use for the next guest. There will be a $50 USD cleaning fee that will be removed from security deposit if you choose not to clean the BBQ.
