"The house was clean, spacious and had all the things/amenities we needed. The information for check-in arrived late but it was easy and smooth to get into the house. Instructions were clear. Lots of games, DVDs, and activities for families included. It was very close to the Rincon Beach Resort for the wedding we attended. The only thing is the air conditioning was not consistent throughoutnthe house. Some rooms were hot and others were cool."
