Everything you need-plenty of plates, dishes, spices, toiletries (including TP, cotton swabs, tissues), blankets, and hangers. We appreciated there were extras of everything. Also, the couch was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views made it the perfect place to stay.

I was in a rush after some recent IT outtages made a mess of my plans, and ended up entering my code wrong and locking myself out. Thankfully the system owner was immediately available for me to resolve my mistake and save my vacation! Dedicated and reliable, as well as an amazing home
