I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Positives: Window view is outstanding. Clean bath, adequate kitchen, extra pillows and blanket, spa and pool well maintained.Attention needed: no maid service (surprise!), no map of hotel showing where to find ice, snacks, trash disposal, pool/hot tub; bedside lamp shade torn and needs rim reglued, both bedside table and dining table needed wipe down for dust and crumbs, both bedskirts torn and hanging, one bedskirt has large stain, ice forming on fridge shelf, no containers, bags or wraps for leftover foods. Why not place TV across from couch? Comfortable couch could be used for viewing tv.

    Clean property, nice pool and hot tub. Great for a family that doesn't want to break the bank. Purgatory shuttle is the way to go. Beat the lines, parking, and walking.
