Plenty of space
The house was nice. The photos made the house look nicer. The outdoor area by the pool wasn’t clean. My bathroom smelled like urine. The furniture in the common areas was dirty and worn. The messages throughout the house were a great touch. We enjoyed them.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stayed at this beautiful home for my great aunt’s 90th birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! The house itself was stunning, offering the perfect setting for us to create memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing my grandmother so happy made the trip even more special.The views were absolutely breathtaking, and visiting in January was a wonderful choice—we got to experience the beauty of the area without the crowds. As the family planner, I can confidently say this will be my go-to spot for future gatherings.A huge thank you to Amber for being such an incredible point of contact and to the entire Bask team for ensuring our stay was perfect. We cannot wait to return! (Review written by Shyra)
