You also get the use of a partial kitchen we created - a outdoor kitchenette. It has a new appliances including small fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooler and a BBQ grill - no kitchen sink or no oven. If your comfortable cooking on a grill it also has a side burner for additional cooking options. It's well outfitted for breakfast and lunch - dinner is more challenging for some. We supply paper / plastic plates, drinking cups and utensils. You can save some money by eating in if you choose or keeping your left overs ready for re-heading for an afternoon snack.
