Enjoyable Casita

Place was clean and comfortable, garage was a real plus. Since we have e-bikes and didn’t have to worry about security! Hot tub was great nice and hot! Some areas that could be improved! Pool and hot tub should be acid washed or repaired! Door to garage was laying on side, rear door is not secure! Overall a good visit! Thx
