We opted to stay in a vacation rental instead of getting multiple hotel rooms so we could continue hanging out with everyone even after people started to go to bed versus retiring to our separate rooms. For the low price we were expecting basic accomodations but were extremely surprised to find a really great and welcoming place. The unit is... more
