Not ideal

Pros: Hot tub (sort of) Propane and functional grill 4 walls and a roof Cons: -Internet did not work at all during our stay. We called Vacasa support multiple times and it was never resolved. -multiple roaches spotted in the house during our stay -hot tub was a two seater and only one of the seats had functional jets -all of the spices we saw in the kitchen expired years ago. I guess bring your own spices if you plan to cook?
