Reviewer Comments:
Spent 5 nights in this wonderful property. Very comfortable for 6 adults and 1 toddler. Close to town without being right in the center of the chaos around the town square. The casita needed some cleaning when we arrived, minor but was overlooked. Management took care of it immediately.
