"Perfect choice for multiple families traveling together. The property is located close to all the attractions with amble parking and tons of square footage. We traveled with 4 cars, 8 adults, and 2 children--and had room to spare. It's not the Ritz, but it is excellent value for the money. Lots of little extras added to make guests feel at home. Good communication with the owners prior to arrival, and during our stay. Absolutely, no complaints! Would stay there again and will definitely...
