    Overall our stay at this property was excellent. The property and amenities were well advertised. We made great use of the electric grill provided and the kitchen was well stocked for a rental property. The only issue we ran into was with the main tv in the living room. The remote provided didn't work properly for it and we therefore weren't able to use the tv that was advertised to us. Perhaps that was our error, but we would have appreciated clearer instructions for that. Still, that is a small, relatively unimportant thing. And otherwise, we had zero complaints and had a lovely time at this property. We'd definitely stay there again!
