Place needs alot of upgrading. And the smell afyer you flushed the toilet or took a shower was horrible. The outside needs to be revamped maybe some pavers so the house would not be sandy. Pictures of the place was not what we got. Disappointed paying almost 1000.00 for 2 nights and got what we got.
