Summary: This house was great for our family of 4 and our friends family of 5! We were each able to have our own separate space which made nap times ideal for the little ones. The views were AMAZING! This house came with everything- all cooking supplies, toys for the kids, and toiletries. The hosts were also very accommodating and easy to get ahold of if we needed anything!
