Beautiful, spacious home
There were four adults and we all had a bedroom and bathroom to ourselves. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. The living room was spacious and lovely and comfortable. The guys loved the golf cart and used it to play golf at Regatta Bay almost every day we were there. The location is wonderful and quiet and safe.
